Illustrated by Sandhya Prabhat

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.
