Pashmina by Nidhi Chanani

Pashmina
by Nidhi Chanani [jPB (Series) Chanani]


This book caught my eye because it has a beautifully illustrated cover and I could tell right away that the main character is a young woman of color. I didn’t know it yet, but this book was going to be magical. Pri finds an old but still gorgeous pashmina of her mother’s, from her younger years in India. When she puts it on, she is transported to a dreamy India. When her mother won’t let her fly to India, she gets frustrated, and has to find out why. This book is a lovely coming-of-age story, although it is very short, as many graphic novels are, and therefore it will only leave you wanting more.
