She’s never been to a wedding, and today there is one in her own garden! After putting on the salwar kameez that Babu gave her, with its soft layers of floaty fabric, she feels like a princess, skipping down the garden path. “Oh wow!” comes a friendly voice over the fence. “I wish I had pajamas like that!” Suddenly Ameena, her cheeks hot, starts to wonder: should she wear something else? In a gentle text capturing all the nuances of a first cultural experience, Sophia Payne follows a child’s passage from self-doubt to worry to pride, while Ruchi Mhasane’s expressive illustrations render the wedding garb in glowing colors and patterns that will have young readers wanting to join in the celebration.","brand":"Sophia Payne","offers":[{"title":"Hardback Picture book","offer_id":46728897593556,"sku":"9781536242898","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_a95c492d-14cd-4b10-a0dd-5e90eb6169fd.jpg?v=1755272681","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781536242898","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
