A Buzzby StorybookRangoli with a New Friend

Ages 5 to 10 Kindergarten to 5th Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

It was Diwali, the festival of lights, and Anika was making a rangoli on her front step in Brampton. She used bright colored powder to draw a flower pattern.

A girl from down the street stood watching. Her name was Emily, and she had never seen a rangoli before. "It's beautiful," she said quietly.

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

Talk time questions

  • What is a rangoli made from?
  • How did Anika help Emily learn?
  • What special tradition could you share with a friend?
