Book Synopsis

From the creators of The Boy Who Tried to Shrink His Name, winner of the 2022 Children's Book Council of Australia's Award for New Illustrator

Amma's Sari is a powerful reflection on connection with family, the acceptance of difference, and the celebration of cultural heritage.

As a second-generation migrant, 6-year-old Shreya’s life tilts between her life at home and the outside world.

While her love for family lifts her up, her spirits plummet at the stares and whispers that her mother's sari attracts. Searching for balance, Shreya asks questions about her culture. Despite the beautiful stories her mother shares, Shreya’s internal and external struggle continues.

But when Shreya finds herself lost in a crowd, it's the shimmer of Amma’s sari that leads her to finding pride in her difference.

Perfect for ages 3 and up.
