Description
My Paati's Saris by Jyoti Rajan Gopal is a heartwarming story where a Tamil boy explores his love for his grandmother and her colourful sari collection, all while expressing his true self.
Another exciting day with Paati begins with a host of fun activities in preparation for tonight's party. Together, they thread flowers into garlands for decoration, go to the market, and help in the kitchen, enveloped by the scent of sambar in the air.
Throughout these activities, the boy finds comfort in Paati's sari, whether he's wrapped in its colours for dress-up or clutching its folds for solace. Each sari holds a story, stories that speak to him, but most importantly, they allow him simply to be.
With joyful text by Jyoti Rajan Gopal and dazzling art by Art Twink, My Paati's Saris is a celebration of how clothing can convey tradition and individuality, connecting us to both our families and ourselves.

About the Author
Jyoti Rajan Gopal is a writer, mom and Kindergarten teacher. Growing up, she lived in Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, India and China. Twenty-seven years ago, she moved to New York and she now lives in Yonkers in a quirky old Victorian, with her husband and two daughters. Jyoti writes stories that speak to her heart, that reflect her multiple identities, that she wishes her daughters had growing up, that she wishes her students had now. When not writing or teaching, she loves to work in her garden, dance hip-hop and swing, and explore the many New York State park trails. Art Twink grew up drawing critters they thought up to comfort themselves and their friends, and that mission continues to this very day. For Art Twink, art is for creating community and safety in a world that offers very little of either. After 6 years of working in graphic apparel design for brands like Disney, Marvel, Nintendo, and Star Wars, Art Twink is well versed in the technical and commercial world of visual art. However, Art Twink is a storyteller at heart. As a trans artist of color, they carry on the tradition of telling stories that inspire, validate, and comfort people and creatures in hard times as a trans artist of color.
