How the first page could read

On the afternoon of the family’s Diwali celebration, your child stood beside the bed where two lovely outfits were waiting. One sparkled with colour. The other felt soft and easy to move in. “Which one feels most like me?” your child wondered, as warm lights began to glow around the house.

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

This story gives a young child a calm, cheerful place to think about a familiar part of Diwali preparations: getting dressed for a family celebration. Rather than treating the fanciest choice as the only right one, it lets your child notice how colours, textures and movement feel, then make a choice with gentle support from family. Diyas, rangoli and a tray of sweets set the festive scene, while the focus stays on a small decision children can recognise. It suits ages three to six, with simple language and a reassuring ending in which your child arrives ready to join in comfortably with their family.

Reading it together

• Before reading, ask your child which colours or clothes help them feel most comfortable at a celebration.
• Pause at the outfit choice and let your child point out details they would choose for themselves.
• After the story, invite your child to help choose one small thing to wear or carry for your family celebration.

Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour

Soft watercolour brings warmth to the glowing diyas, patterned rangoli and colourful celebration clothes. A sidekick idea: a small, curious cat who keeps settling on the softest outfit. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
