My Bindi

My Bindi by Gita Varadarajan (Illustrated by Archana Srinivasan)
Divya is scared to put on her bindi for the first time, worried about what others might think. But with her mother, Amma, there to reassure her, Divya looks through a special box to find the perfect one. As she gazes in the mirror, she discovers a new side of herself, a powerful connection to her heritage, and a feeling of strength she’s never felt before. This magical picture book is a moving and lyrical journey of self-discovery, celebrating belonging, embracing your heritage, and believing in yourself.
