Happy Hippotastic Holi!: How to Celebrate with Consent introduces Holi, the Indian Festival of Colors, and gives kids simple language for choice,

consent, and joyful participation. It is a full-color, bilingual picture book in English and Hindi for children ages 3-8.

In this story, hippos cannot wait to celebrate, but they also know something important:

before adding color, you ask first.

They model a simple rhythm: Pause. Ask. Play! They ask, "May I add some color?"

They listen to the answer. If someone says no, they stop.

If someone wants to watch from the side, that is

welcome too. When consent is ignored, the

celebration stops feeling fun.

When consent is respected, everyone can celebrate

in the way that feels right for them.

Culturally-rich with bright Holi colors, playful

patterns, dancing, and festive treats, this story helps

families navigate celebrations, boundaries, and belonging in diverse communities, with care and respect.

Back matter for families and educators includes: What is Holi? Why Does Consent Belong in Holi?

A glossary of Hindi words, Two STEAM activities (make your own Holi colors), and a sweet treat recipe (make your own banana pua).
