The Feast
for Ganesha is a
warm, visually delightful children’s book that captures the magic of Ganesh
Chaturthi through the eyes of a sweet little girl named Tara. With vibrant,
expressive illustrations, it draws young readers into a world filled with colour,
devotion, laughter, and curiosity.
At the heart
of the story is Tara’s simple but heartfelt dream to prepare the feast for her
beloved Ganesha. Coming from a humble background, she helps out at local shops
and saves every coin, determined to create something special for Bappa. Her
journey, full of interruptions, surprises, and little discoveries, beautifully
highlights innocence, perseverance, faith, and love.
The
storytelling balances playfulness with emotion, gently introducing children to
Indian culture, mythology, and the festive spirit of Ganesh Chaturthi. It brings
in front of you the bustling city scenes, mystical idols, dancers, people, and
street food come alive through the art, while the narrative reminds us that
faith often lies in small gestures and pure intentions.
Beyond the
celebration, the book explores deeper themes like kindness, sharing, seeing the
bigger picture, and recognising that God may appear in unexpected forms. It
shows that devotion isn’t about grandeur, but about sincerity.
This short, and
easy to read book is perfect for bedtime or classroom storytelling. Children
will fall in love with Tara and the beautiful illustrations. It is a treat for both
kids and adults alike.
In all, it’s a beautiful and engaging book that kids will love, and it also makes a wonderful gift for kids and an interesting way to introduce kids to mythology, our festivals and good morals too.
