A young girl finds the magic, power, and history of wearing
a bindi for the first time, in this moving and lyrical picture
book debut from Gita Varadarajan.
There in the mirror, I see a shining star.
My mother’s joy, my father’s pride.
And then I see something else:
I see me.
Divya is scared to put on the bindi for the first time. What if
she gets made fun of? What will it feel like? But Amma is there
to reassure her. Together they look inside Amma’s special
box to find the perfect bindi. And as Divya gazes in the mirror she
discovers a new side of herself.
She is stronger than ever.
Gita Varadarajan crafts a powerful story about belonging, embracing
your heritage, and believing in yourself.
Archana Sreenivasan's vibrant and magical illustrations bring
to life this journey of self-discovery.
My Bindi is a universal message of the importance
finding oneself and celebrating the unique beliefs and experiences
that make us who we are.
