A gorgeously illustrated goodnight story that celebrates the nighttime
rituals of two young children visiting their grandparents in India.
As nighttime falls over the city, two children visiting their
grandparents in India find there's so much fun to be had! Whether it's
listening to epic stories or observing rituals in the puja room, there
are many moments that make this time together special.
In this beautiful, rhyming ode to bedtime, the only thing more universal
than getting ready for bed and saying goodnight is the love between
children and their grandparents.
Nadia Salomon's Goodnight Ganesha reminds readers that saying
goodnight is both universal and unique and that all children deserve
bedtime books that reflect their experiences and culture. --Hallee

A pair of parallel poems, both steeped in references to India and
Hinduism, form this stunningly illustrated tribute to family rituals
[with] gorgeous, classically stylized art. Contemporary Hindu families
will love the culturally specific details, while cultural outsiders will
appreciate the universality of a bedtime routine. --Booklist
