In this vibrant, bighearted picture book by celebrated creators Hena Khan and Sandhya Prabhat, a young girl must overcome her shyness to join in the dancing fun at a mehndi.

Talia wants to be as graceful as the bhangra dancers at the mehndi: Bend! Twirl! Snap! But her feet drag and her arms freeze when she tries to dance in front of others.

Instead, she shrinks in her chair. But maybe with some help from her dadi, Talia will find the courage to take to the floor. Then, can she convince Dadi to join her?

Acclaimed author Hena Khan has crafted a sweetly authentic story about overcoming inhibitions through the joys of dance, community, and family. Her text is beautifully brought to life by Sandhya Prabhat’s stunning illustrations.
