diwali

[cherry pink]

hi all, can anyone help???

i'm looking for a simple book with colourful pictures not tons of writing that tells the story of diwali suitable for 2.5 yrs plus.
will be doing some activities with them in october (face masks from sparklebox, cards etc) i know they probably wont understand but it would be nice to have even for my 6 yr old mindee who doesnt like ''big'' stories.

thanx in advance cherry pink
