An empowering and reassuring celebration of individuality and heritage told with heart, emotion and evocative illustrations.
Ameena can’t wait for her aunty’s wedding. She is wearing a brand-new salwar kameez – the layers of floaty fabric adorned with pretty patterns make her feel like a princess. But when someone comments on her “pyjamas”, she loses all confidence, fearing that her friends might not accept her traditional clothing.
Through courage, familial love and self-belief, Ameena discovers what it means to take pride in the beautiful layers of her cultural heritage in this authentic and sensitively told story from Sophia Payne and award-winning illustrator Ruchi Mhasane.
