A sweet and joyful story of self-discovery and identity.
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. And 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?
