My Festival Year — Festival Memory Book for Kids, 10 Festivals Over 3 Years, Write-In

The festival, in the child’s own handwriting

A festival is loud for three days and gone by the next one. Ask a child in March who came home for the last one and you get a shrug. This book is where they write it down, the morning after: who was there, what they wore, what they ate, what they made.

And one question no adult asks: “One thing that went wrong and made everyone laugh.” It is the line a family ends up reading out loud.

Ten festivals, three years each

Every festival comes back three times: this year, next year, the year after. The three sit next to each other, so in three years one turn of the page shows the same child at seven, eight and nine. From the second year there is one more question: “What was different from last year.”

• Diwali · Holi · Raksha Bandhan · Janmashtami · Ganesh Chaturthi · Navratri
• Eid · Christmas · the child’s own birthday
• One of your own — a festival left blank, for the family to name, draw and fill in

How one festival goes into the book

• Colour it — A full-page drawing of the festival’s own things: lamps, colours, a rakhi, a lantern, a cake.
• Ask someone older — “What was Diwali like when you were small?” Their answer goes in, in their words.
• Write this year — A date and six small questions: “Who was there”, “What I wore”, “What we ate”, “What we made”, what went wrong, and the best moment.
• A photo and a drawing — A place for one upright 4 × 6 photo and a box to draw in. The book says it itself: “A photo is a bonus, not a rule.”

The first rule printed in the book is “Fill it in after the festival, not during it.” Nobody enjoys a festival while holding a pen.

What this book is not

• Not a book about the festivals. Each one gets two lines.
• Not finished in a week. Two thirds of it is empty on the first day.
• Not in colour inside. The colour comes from the child.

In its own words: “This book is not finished until three years from now. That is the point.”
