Amma Tell Me about Raksha Bandhan! by Ms Bhakti Mathur

Children love Raksha Bandhan but do they know how this tradition began? Join the siblings Klaka and Kiki as they celebrate Rakhi with their sister Maya and hear Amma narrates the stories behind the festival - of what Lakshmi had to do to get her husband back, of how Indra emerged victorious after nearly losing a battle and how Rabindranath Tagore foiled a well laid plan of the British empire. For ages 2 to 8.

Amma Tell Me is a charming and informative series of children's books that introduces the major Hindu festivals and figures to young readers and are perfect for families wanting to share stories of Hinduism with their children or for educators looking for resources on Hindu culture for their students. Written in rhyme with vivid, captivating illustrations, this series brings Hindu mythology to its readers in a fun and non-preachy way. The Series has fourteen books.

Bhakti Mathur took to writing in 2010 when she created the popular 'Amma Tell Me' series of children's picture books about Indian festivals and mythology. She wrote and self-published her first book, 'Amma Tell Me About Holi!' in 2011 and the series has now grown to eleven books. Bhakti is currently working on a new series titled 'Amma Take Me' in collaboration with Puffin Books, Penguin Random House India. The new series introduces children to major Indian faiths through their important places of worship and the first two books on the Golden Temple in Amritsar and the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati were published in 2017. Bhakti grew up in Delhi. She obtained her graduate degree in Economics and her postgraduate degree in Finance from Delhi University. She holds a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing from Hong Kong University. After a long stint as a banker, she now juggles her time between her writing, her passion for long-distance running, yoga and her family. She is also a freelance journalist, and her articles have been published in the South China Morning Post. She lives in Hong Kong with her husband, their two children and two dogs. When not writing or running after her young boys, Bhakti is happiest curled up with a book in one hand and a hot cup of chai in the other.
