A fun-filled story about overcoming anxieties and dancing your way to confidence!

Featured in the 2026 Summer Reading Challenge Official Book Collection: ‘Read to the Beat’!

Bhangra Boogie follows Talia who wants to be as graceful as the bhangra dancers at the mehndi – a traditional South Asian pre-wedding celebration. But her feet drag and her arms freeze when she tries to dance in front of her friends and family.

With some help from her dadi – her grandmother – will Talia find the courage to take to the floor? And can she convince Dadi to join her?

A pitch-perfect picture book story, brought to life with vibrant, fun-filled illustrations.

Featuring an illustrated glossary.
