Ameena can’t wait for her auntie’s Nikah. She’s never been to a
wedding, and today there is one in her own garden! After
putting on the salwar kameez that Babu gave her, with
its soft layers of floaty fabric, she feels like a princess,
skipping down the garden path. “Oh wow!” comes a friendly voice
over the fence. “I wish I had pajamas like that!” Suddenly
Ameena, her cheeks hot, starts to wonder: should she wear
something else? In a gentle text capturing all the nuances
of a
first cultural experience, Sophia Payne follows a child’s
passage from self-doubt to worry to pride, while Ruchi
Mhasane’s expressive illustrations render the wedding garb in
glowing colors and patterns that will have young readers
wanting to join in the celebration.
Book, 40 pages.
