Description

Mother's sari is sometimes a train, sometimes a river, or a swing, or a hiding place... Children have a way of seeing things differently! The spare text weaves and winds between a visual interplay of children, colours and textures, to create the mood-filled world of My Mother's Sari. * Dynamic interplay of text and visual that takes the reader on a sartorial journey with the graceful and everyday sari * Illustrated by an international award-winning filmmaker-artist, who breaks away from conventional depictions of both sari and children, combining photographs and acrylic in dramatic, original ways to create stunning visuals * Encourages the child to explore, dream and find new experiences at playtime * With a step by step guide to wearing a sari.
