Book of the Month - Ganesha's Birthday!

Who is the elephant-headed, sweet-loving, mouse-riding mythological character that is every kid’s favorite? Ganesha, of course!

Learn about the 10-day birthday festival of Ganesha, one of the most widely recognized icons of India.

The book remains 100% non-religious while sharing delightful mythological stories, describing 2-house-tall statues, and the hypnotic Dhol Tasha drums and Lezim dances.

Also, check out our Navratri and Diwali Books!
