A Diwali gift that isn’t another box

The Macmerise Journal · Diwali 2026

Diwali falls on Sunday, 8 November this year. For the children in the family, the gifts usually look the same: a box of dry fruits, a toy that lasts till Bhai Dooj, clothes they'll outgrow by summer.

The gift they open first.

Give them a story where they're the hero

Upload a photo of the child, and of anyone you'd like in the story: parents, siblings, grandparents, you. We write a new picture book around what they love and paint everyone in from their own photos.
