Lucky, It’s Diwali by Nalini Sorensen

It’s Diwali. And poor four-legged Lucky cannot understand what is going on. The sounds are loud, as though things are crashing down around her. She barks at them and runs to her human family for comfort and protection. But then … there’s Adit. He’s the boy in the house, and he startles at these loud sounds too, though he is human. Adit does not like their pet dog, Lucky, and does his best to avoid her, but suddenly, the boy and dog have this in common – they both jump in fear when they hear the very loud Diwali firecrackers. Can a common dislike for loud firecrackers lead to a friendship? Lucky, It’s Diwali! is a heart-warming story, told through a dog’s eyes, that is perfect to read all through the year.
