The Story of Divaali - This book tells the tale of The Ramayana and is recommended for 4-10 year olds. Ramayana is the story of the adventures of Prince Rama during his 14 year exile, and how he defeats the Demon King Ravana and saves Princess Sita. When Prince Rama returns home with his bride to take the throne, all of the townspeople have lit lanterns in their windows to celebrate, and that is how the festival of Divaali was born. Divaali is a Hindu festival celebrated in modern India, and the book contains more information on the festival and the traditions surrounding it. As a homeschooling parent, this is exactly the sort of book I look for. It teaches something, but in an enjoyable an inspiring way. It is a book I would read to my children even if it wasn't educational, just because it is fun to read.
