The perfect picture book to introduce children aged 6+ to Rama and Sita and the story of Diwali, with text by award-winning author Malachy Doyle and stunning, colourful illustrations from Christopher Corr.

Rama and Sita live happily in the forest - until Sita is kidnapped by the demon king, Ravana. Can Rama and the monkey king Hanuman follow the trail she has laid for them and save Sita, or will she be lost forever? Whether you're looking for a Diwali gift or a simple introduction to the Diwali story to share with your children, this beautiful book is ideal.

Diwali is one of the most popular festivals in India, and it is celebrated by millions of people around the world every year. Taking place in October or November, the 'Festival of Lights' celebrates the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness.

This book, now reissued in a larger picture book format, includes non-fiction spreads of Diwali facts for children and irresistible illustrations throughout.
