I received access to a digital copy of this book from the publishers through work.
I LOVED this story. It's always interesting to see sibling age gap dynamics navigated. Ruhi, the little sib, feels left out/left behind when her older sib Kayra has a coming of age moment and gets to wear a sari to a family gathering for the first time.
Seeing the siblings come together in the end for a sari dance party was so lovely.
Also, the use of tissue paper to add texture and dimension to the saris was a phenomenal choice. That tissue paper is a little bit see through, so we can see skin and clothing peeking through was a cherry on top of otherwise STUNNING illustrations! It really makes each spread pop!
