My bindi  Cover Image Book Book

My bindi / written by Gita Varadarajan ; Illustrated by Archana Sreenivasan.

Varadarajan, Gita, (author.). Sreenivasan, Archana, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Divya is scared to put on the bindi for the first time. What if she gets made fun of? What will it feel like? But Amma assures her that her bindi will bring protection. After Divya looks inside Amma's special box to find the perfect bindi to put on, she gazes in the mirror and discovers a new side of herself, and it gives her strength. In this tender debut picture book, author Gita Varadarajan crafts a powerful story about belonging, embracing your heritage, and believing in yourself. Archana Sreenivasan's vibrant and magical illustrations bring to life this journey of self-discovery. My Bindi is a universal message of the importance finding oneself and celebrating the unique beliefs and experiences that make us who we are."-- Amazon.com.
