Peppa Pig celebrates Holi in new book

Children's popular animated character Peppa Pig will celebrate Holi with her little brother George in a new book.

''Peppa's Holi'', published by Ladybird and distributed in India by Penguin Random House, is the latest addition to the ''Peppa Pig'' series.

Holi will be celebrated on March 8.

''This time round, Holi would be extra special because our kids will have the opportunity to celebrate the festival and the start of spring season with their best friend, Peppa Pig,'' the publishers said.

Over the years, Peppa Pig has made her space in the hearts and homes of toddlers in India.

''Mealtimes and sleepovers are spent watching and reading the adventures of Peppa and this overwhelming response has made the brand come up with books around key Indian festivals like Diwali, Rakshabandhan and Holi,'' the publishers said.

In the new book, Peppa, George and other members of her family celebrate the start of spring by throwing vibrant colours over everyone.
