The first pages

It was Diwali, the festival of lights. Anika's home in Surrey glowed with little clay lamps called diyas along every window.

All the aunties, uncles and cousins came for dinner. Dadi, Anika's grandmother, asked, "Who will sing a song for us tonight?"

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.
