My daughter just turned 5 and got Mama's saris as a birthday present. We read the delightful book tonight. The illustrations and colors are stunning.
My own saris are all in a suitcase below the bed and my daughter is always fascinated by their colors!
I am sure we will be reading the book many more times.

how wonderful! i was looking at Mama's sari prominently displayed at Border's and browsed through it and liked it a lot, but, didn't get a chance to read it objectively; but loved the illustrations, and as i turned the pages i was trying to decide if it will suit Ana now, but decided she may not relate as I only wear a saree at home for festivals and such, so, decided to get the book later :)

This is like some Synchronicity going around in the Universe - i was just debating getting this book and writing a review on ST!!

My mom sewed a wrap-around-and-tie mini saree for Ana - i remember i had a mini saree similar to that - i just had to tie at the waist and drape the rest of it over the shoulder:)

nice work on the review.

Wow Praba....what an enchangting pick that was. I have only the kurta descendants at home, but I can sooo relate from the POV of the daughter. Wow. Evokes such sweet memories.

Great work by Pooja Makhijani. Looked forward to checking out other works by her. Hope she'll definitely work on the sequel! ;)

And the ST page has really livened up from that cover picture you posted. Its beautiful!
