From award-winning author Hena Khan, this is a picture book about a young girl who overcomes her shyness to join the festivities at a traditional South Asian pre-wedding henna party.

Talia wants to be as graceful as the bhangra dancers at the mehndi: Bend! Twirl! Snap! But Talia’s feet drag and her arms freeze when she tries to dance in front of others. Instead, she sits in her chair. Still, maybe with some help from her dadi (grandmother), Talia might find the courage to take to the floor. But then, can she convince Dadi to join her?Acclaimed author Hena Khan has crafted a sweetly authentic story about overcoming anxieties. Her text is beautifully brought to life by Sandhya Prabhat’s vibrant illustrations.Features a glossary.
