On Thursday, April 18th at 11:30 am EDT, East City Bookshop in Washington, DC will host authors Sanyukta Mathur and Courtney Pippin-Mathur for a reading of their new picture book "It's Holi!". The book celebrates the vibrant Hindu festival of Holi, which marks the arrival of spring. Sameer and his family prepare for the colorful festivities, but young Sameer feels nervous about the messy traditions. However, his family comes up with a fun solution to help him embrace the holiday. The event will feature the reading, as well as a discussion of the history and customs of Holi. Sanyukta Mathur is a social scientist who studies youth well-being, while Courtney Pippin-Mathur is an author-illustrator known for her empowering children's books. Attendees can expect an engaging, educational, and entertaining storytime experience. The event is free and open to the public, with masks encouraged for safety. It's a wonderful opportunity to learn about this vibrant cultural celebration.
