Let's Celebrate Krishna's Birthday is book 12 of Maya & Neel's India Adventure Series. The book helps teach about Janmashtami, the celebration of Krishna's birthday. The has numerous features which make it a valuable multicultural resource.
Siblings, Maya and Neel, go visit their Auntie Leela in India to learn about the history and traditions of Janmashtami. When they arrive in Mathura, India, their Aunt teaches them about Krishna and the celebration of his birthday. She also gives them traditional clothes to wear. After celebrating and learning about the cultural traditions, they head to Mumbai and discover how the celebration differs there.
Aunt Leela provides more knowledge about Krishna by discussing the story of Krishna and Kaliya. Then the reader is given more information about how the celebrations differ around India. As a former social studies teacher, I found this book fascinating. I taught about world cultures and religions in my World History class. I think this would make a great addition to a world religion, world culture, or specific India unit. While the book is targeted for younger children, it would still be a great introduction for older students.
I appreciated the multitude of features the book had to aide in the reader's comprehension. For instance the opening pages of the book features a pronunciation guide and the first pages of the story depict a map of India. The book has a Q and A type review at the end as well.

It was very interesting for me to read this book. I love knowing about different cultures and I was always very curious about India and Krishna. This book tells some episodes of the life of Krishna and talks about some ways Krishna is celebrated. The text is appealing and entertaining for kids and it was for me too. I didn’t know much about Krishna and this was a fun way to get to know a bit more. The illustrations are very colorful. They show characters and backgrounds with Indian outfits and decoration. Help the reader to have a pick into Indian style and taste. I quite like the experience of reading this book and I think any kid will enjoy it too.

Informative and accessible
This picture book presents cultural information in an inviting way that feels like reading an episode of television. Having never known about Krishna, I and my kids benefit from having a better understanding.

Nice book
A very good book for diversity theme at preschool. This book is even good for first and second grade levels. It is very important to expose children to diversity. This book offers a very detailed overview of how people in India celebrate religious birthdays.

Learn About Krishna's Birthday
I thought this was a well written book and presented in such a way that kids could relate to Krishna's birthday. They learn from Maya and Neely's bua that everyone celebrates it differently.
