(4) K-3 Tales of the World series. Illustrated by Amanda Hall. When Kumar goes to celebrate Diwali at his classmate's house, Andal's grandmother, raised a Brahmin, does not allow the Dalit ("untouchable" in former times) boy to stay. Kumar's grandfather explains that the India of the future will be different. This purposive story about Indian caste prejudice can open discussion about discrimination. Hall's vivid folk art–style paintings enliven the setting. Glos.
