Book
A bindi can be... / written by Suma Subramaniam ; illustrated by Kamala Nair.
"In this lyrical picture book, a young girl learns how to make a bindi in the traditional way with the help of her Patti. Into the clay pot go the ingredients, such as turmeric and sandalwood powder. She stirs and stirs and stirs until ... like magic, the mixture transforms from yellow to bright red. When the girl wears her bindi, she discovers what it means to her -- how it keeps her calm and centered, and helps her see the world as one. From author Suma Subramaniam comes this beautiful story about mindfulness and celebrating the cultural traditions that make us who we are."-- Provided by publisher.
