Start giftingA Garden in My Hands
There's a wedding tomorrow! And one little girl sits patiently while her mother tenderly applies intricate, delicate henna designs on her hands. As she does, she shares family stories—about weddings, monsoons, and ancestors long gone. The little girl must be careful to protect her hands as the henna dries—one smudge could ruin a story! After a whole night of anticipation, when the flakes are washed away, what will they reveal? With lyrical text, this poignant story blooms with heart and connects us to our roots, sweetly reminding us of the garden of love we curate with those closest to us.
Meera Sriram grew up in India and moved to the U.S. at the turn of the millennium. She is the author of several picture books, including A Gift for Amma, which School Library Journal called an "excellent story for young readers to enhance their understanding of color and an aspect of traditional Indian culture" in a starred review. An electrical engineer in her past life, she now enjoys writing for children and advocating for early and multicultural literacy. Meera loves yoga and chai, and lives with her husband and two children in Berkeley, California.
