Young Leila celebrates her Pakistani identity at her grandmother's house as they cook Leila's famous curry with cilantro. The colors shown in this beautifully illustrated book are bushel of delectable hues: "the color of lentils, bright and orange; pomegranates, juicy and rosy; cucumber skin, dark and green; and threads of saffron, gold and copper." (Miller Library Staff)
Shy and unsure of herself, Leila discovers all the things that make her special with the loving help of her Naani.
Recommended for preschool (age 0-5) and primary school (age 6-12).
