Bindu's Bindi is a fast, children's picture book. It follows Bindu and her relationship with her Nani and how it is connected through bindis. The themes of bindis - what they represent, its perspective in different countries, its various names, its various styles etc was well done. There was even a hint of the discrimination seen by South Asians living in America which was dealt with in the only way it should - by being proud of who you are your culture and what you stand for. Lastly, the illustrations were superb. The attention to detail, the colors and culture filled graphics were chef's kiss.
