From award-winning author Hena Khan and acclaimed illustrator Sandhya Prabhat is a sweetly authentic story about overcoming anxieties and dancing your way to confidence!



Talia wants to be as graceful as the bhangra dancers at the mehndi – a traditional South Asian pre-wedding celebration. But her feet drag and her arms freeze when she tries to dance in front of others. Instead, she sits in her chair.


But with some help from her dadi (grandmother), will Talia find the courage to take to the floor? And can she convince Dadi to join her?


A beautifully crafted story, with lyrical text that is brought to life by vibrant illustrations.


Featuring an illustrated glossary.
