Sari Sisters
Written by Anitha Rao-Robinson
Ruhi is ready for her weekend tradition: a dance party with her older sister, Kayra! Everything is ready to go–the music, the lights, the glitterballs–but where is Kayra?
Ruhi finds her sister getting ready for the weekly family gathering and carefully tying a sari for the first time. When Kayra emerges from her room, Ruhi is in awe of her sister and can’t wait to wear a sari too.
This beautifully written story is about the tight-knit bond between sisters as they navigate adolescent milestones and the beauty of updating traditional customs for a modern audience.
“A winning story about mingling old and new tradition.”
