I look in the mirror, I see me in my saree. And my heart is full ... In my beautiful peacock blue saree. I bring my palms together and smile. 'Namaste, I am Divya, and this is my saree.'

Divya loves her mother's sarees. Each one is unique; some are soft and silky, some are stiff and crisp, and some dazzle with gold and silver. She can't wait for the day when she's old enough to wear one herself!

It's Heritage Night at school, and everyone gets to share something from their culture with the class. Divya hopes this is her chance to finally wear her first saree. Will Divya get to wear one after all?

In this tender follow-up to My Bindi, author Gita Varadarajan's lyrical and moving text is accompanied by Archana Sreenivasan's charming and vibrant illustrations. Together, they bring to life another beautiful story as a young girl discovers a new way to embrace her Indian culture.
