Picture book illustrations for Isha Vidhya-a pioneering education initiative that seeks to transform the lives of India’s rural poor. This is a story revolving around a young girl and her excitement about Diwali, the festival of lights. Upon hearing the brief of the story, I could easily relate to the little girl. I approached the illustrations from a very personal level, going down memory lane of past Diwali celebrations at home, eating plenty of sweets and spending time with family.
