4 stars
It’s the day before a wedding and a young girl patiently waits as her mother applies henna designs to her hands. While she does, she shares stories and memories to pass the time.
Rich, lush illustrations and a heartwarming story of celebration, spending time together, and sharing family history. This is a beautiful book. Lyrical and bright.
Includes a section in the back about henna, how it’s applied, and common designs.
