From acclaimed duo Raakhee Mirchandani and Supriya Kelkar comes a joyful picture book that celebrates self-expression, family, and cultural connection as one little girl wears traditional Indian clothing to school for the first time
It's a BIG week. Friday is school picture day, and one little girl has just FIVE DAYS to figure out the perfect outfit!
She finds inspiration in a box of Mom's childhood photos-including one of Mom wearing traditional Indian clothes. Our narrator gets a brilliant idea: she'll wear Indian clothes to school this week!
As she counts down to picture day, she mixes all her favorite pieces-a blue bindi with her favorite basketball leggings, a friendship bracelet with shimmering bangles and Mom's jhumkas-to find a picture day look that's proudly her.
Spotlighting an Indian American family and inspired by a true story, this empowering picture book from powerhouse duo and real-life best friends Supriya Kelkar and Raakhee Mirchandani shows how our families and cultures can help us feel the most like ourselves-and that's worth sharing!
