Welcome!
I'm Vanessa Kapadia, the creative mind behind the It's That Time Of Year series (@itsthattimeofyear_series). As a mother of two, I understand the challenges of being constantly busy and the need for simple yet engaging ways to keep your kids entertained and connected to their culture. This was one of my main drivers for creating my book series as well as these festivities.
Together with Neha Jain (@ms_nehaj) who is also a mum and an educator, we have so many fun activities and ideas for you to try at home to get your child engaged and excited about their culture!
If you aren't already following us be sure to follow us on Instagram and TikTok to see the latest videos!
If you're a parent looking for a simple and effective way to connect your child back to their culture, especially if you're pressed for time or lacking the necessary resources, then you're in the right place! Learn More about the It's That Time of Year Series below.
If you're looking for a way to teach your children about Diwali, this book is a must have! It explains the different days of Diwali, has a catchy rhyme and my daughter's favourite part is finding all the key items. It's so beautiful to see my daughter now recognising Indian traditions like rangoli and the different sweets. This book is a wonderful way to ensure our children feel represented in books, which was lacking when I grew up. I highly recommend you buy this book as a gift for your child, nieces, nephews and friends!
