My Paati's Saris
Author(s): Jyoti Rajan Gopal
A Tamil boy explores his love for his grandmother and her colourful sari collection in this tale of expressing your true self.
Another exciting day with Paati begins with a host of fun activities done in preparation for tonight's party; threading flowers into garlands for decoration, going to the market, and helping her in the kitchen with the scent of sambar in the air.
Through it all the boy finds comfort in Paati's sari, whether he's wrapped in its colours for dress-up or clutching its folds for comfort. Each sari holds a story-ones that speak to him, but most important of all they allow him just to be.
With joyful text by Jyoti Rajan Gopal and dazzling art by Art Twink, My Paati's Sari is a commemoration of how clothing can convey tradition and individuality, and connect us to both our families and ourselves.
