About the Book

Matku's Diwali Adventure is a heartwarming children’s book that captures the excitement, wonder, and joy of the Diwali festival through the eyes of Matku, a brave little street dog. As Matku tries to rest for the night, he is startled by the loud BANG-BANGs and BOOM-BOOMs of fireworks lighting up the sky. Curious and frightened by the fiery sparkles falling from above, he wonders if he will be hurt.

When kind-hearted Vikram finds Matku trembling under a bench, the two form an unlikely bond. With courage, kindness, and empathy, Vikram helps Matku navigate the chaos of the festival, teaching him the true meaning of understanding and acceptance.
