I like Maira Kalyan and this is a beautiful book. She writes lovely verse about holding, and women, history, and all of it.

I loved this book so much, the pairing of the artwork and poetry together was incredible! Such a brilliant mediation on the role of women in society and their familial roles.

What a beautiful book with incredible art work throughout. The stories told here and there were very interesting. A very colourful book both in pictures and in words.
