Mehso-so

This board book features delightfully energetic illustrations by Darshika Varma and sets out the different elements that go to make up the Holi festival. Varma‘s illustrations show different generations and use lots of bright colours. However the use of the flaps is a little underwhelming and they‘re quite flimsy and susceptible to tearing in small hands, which is a shame because I think this is a nice introduction to the festival.
