Endpapers: Pink with intertwined streamers from edge to edge
1st line/s: "My grandparents and my ousing have come from India for my sister Nisha-ben's wedding."
My comments: What a delightful way to explore the customs of another culture and religion! In this charmingly illustrated story of an older sister's wedding, Sona figures out how to steal the groom's shoes to follow tradition, while the reader learns all sorts of interesting information about an Indian wedding. It's followed by two very readable Author's Notes pages with more explanation. Recommended.
Goodreads: Sona's big sister is getting married and she's been given an important job to do. She has to steal the groom's shoes. She's never attended a wedding before, so she's unfamiliar with this Indian tradition as well as many of the other magical experiences that will occur before and during the special event. But with the assistance of her annoying cousin Vshal, Sona finds a way to steal the shoes and get a very special reward.
