connect her to family and help her find courage to compete in the
school talent show. This charming picture book is about a little
girl who loves her bindis (and the many creative shapes they come

it is just in time to wear something new to the school talent show.
Bindu and Nani work together to shine their brightest and embrace
their sparkle, even when they stand out from the crowd.
An Indian American girl navigates prejudice in her small town and
learns the power of her own voice in this brilliant gem of a middle
grade novel full of humor and heart, perfect for fans of Front Desk
and Amina's Voice. As the only Indian American kid in her small
town, Lekha Divekar feels like she has two versions of herself:
Home Lekha, who loves watching Bollywood movies and eating Indian
food, and School Lekha, who pins her hair over her bindi birthmark
and avoids confrontation at all costs, especially when someone
teases her for being Indian. When a girl Lekha's age moves in
across the street, Lekha is excited to hear that her name is
Avantika and she's Desi, too! Finally, there will be someone else
around who gets it. But as soon as Avantika speaks, Lekha realizes
she has an accent. She's new to this country, and not at all like
Lekha. To Lekha's surprise, Avantika does not feel the same way as
Lekha about having two separate lives or about the bullying at
school. Avantika doesn't take the bullying quietly. And she proudly
displays her culture no matter where she is: at home or at school.
When a racist incident rocks Lekha's community, Lekha realizes she
must make a choice: continue to remain silent or find her voice
before it's too late.

Bollywood takes over in this "effervescent" (Booklist) and magical
middle grade novel about an Indian American girl whose world turns
upside down when she involuntarily starts bursting into glamorous
song-and-dance routines during everyday life. You know how in
Bollywood when people are in love, they sing and dance from the
mountaintops? Eleven-year-old Sonali wonders if they do the same
when they're breaking up. The truth is, Sonali's parents don't get
along, and it looks like they might be separating. Sonali's little
brother, Ronak, is not taking the news well, constantly crying.
Sonali would never do that. It's embarrassing to let out so many
feelings, to show the world how not okay you are. But then
something strange happens, something magical, maybe. When Sonali
gets upset during a field trip, she can't bury her feelings like
usual-instead, she suddenly bursts into a Bollywood song-and-dance
routine about why she's upset! The next morning, much to her
dismay, Sonali's reality has shifted. Things seem brighter, almost
too bright. Her parents have had Bollywood makeovers. Her friends
are also breaking out into song and dance. And somehow, everyone is
acting as if this is totally normal. Sonali knows something has
gone wrong, and she suspects it has something to do with her own
mismanaged emotions. Can she figure it out before it's too late?
