Come celebrate the Festival of Lights and discover the timeless story behind Diwali through an evening of music, humor, and storytelling with John and Christine Sherwood.

Christine, writer and artist, will also present her beautifully illustrated new book, The Ten Avatars , for the first time in the Ohio Valley. The book explores the connection between Prince Ram, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, and the Diwali tradition.
