Amma’s Sari

by Sandhya Parappukkaran

Description

Amma’s Sari is a story about finding pride in your differences and learning to embrace your cultural heritage. Six-year-old Shreya’s life tilts between her life at home and the outside world. While her love for her family lifts her up, her spirits plummet at the stares and whispers that her mother’s sari attracts. But when Shreya finds herself lost in a crowd, it’s the shimmer of Amma’s sari that leads her to finding pride if her difference. Sandhya will offer an immersive and interactive story time, followed by engaging and creative activities.
