When Nadia is chosen to be a flower girl in Auntie Laila’s traditional Pakistani wedding, her hands are decorated with beautiful designs made with mehndi, and she comes to understand the rich culture she has inherited.

“How the strength of time-honored traditions and the warmth and love of a large extended family transform Nadia’s feelings about her hands make an affecting . . . story.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Children will enjoy the wedding story, and many will recognize how a family custom can be a source of both embarrassment and pride.” —Booklist
