A Vaisakhi to Remember
Illustrated by:
When a Sikh family moves from their village in India to a faraway city on the other side of the world, a girl yearns for her grandmother's hugs, her goat Ramu, and the lush fields filled with yellow flowers and wheat. How will they celebrate Vaisakhi in her new and unfamiliar surroundings?
But the girl soon discovers soothing touchstones — a special outfit, a trip to gurdwara, delicious food, and new friends — that make gathering for Vaisakhi still the best day of all.
