How the first page could read

“What colour shall we find first?” asks Mum as your child steps into the busy family home. A red scarf rests on the chair, gold paper shines on the table, and blue ribbons curl by the window. Today, every colour has a small job to do.

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 gentle colour hunt gives young children a clear way into Diwali preparations: noticing, naming and finding colours in familiar family spaces. Reds, golds, blues and pinks lead the action, while diyas, rangoli, decorations and sweets appear as part of a busy, happy home. The story has a simple repeated structure that suits toddlers, with your child taking part in small, satisfying jobs rather than watching from the side. It also leaves room for parents to point out colours, talk about their own family preparations and revisit favourite pages together. Short, age-appropriate wording keeps the focus on bright details and togetherness.

Reading it together

• Pause on each colour page and invite your child to find something in the illustration that matches it.
• Talk about the Diwali decorations or colours your own family uses as you read.
• Choose the coloured pencil style for soft, clear details that are easy for little ones to notice.

Suggested art style: Coloured pencil

Coloured pencil gives the reds, golds, blues and pinks a warm, hand-drawn texture while keeping each colour easy to spot. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
