Description
Naima is a talented painter of traditional alpana patterns, which Bangladeshi women and girls paint on their houses for special celebrations. But Naima wants to help earn money for her family, like her best friend Saleem does.
When Naima's rash effort to help puts her family deeper in debt, she draws on her resourceful nature and her talents to bravely save the day. This heartwarming story explores themes of tradition, family, and self-reliance.
A glossary of Bangla words and an author's note about a changing Bangladesh add depth and context to this moving tale.
