A Sari for Ammi - Hardcover

by Mamta Nainy (Author), Sandhya Prabhat (Illustrator)

Ammi weaves the most beautiful saris but never gets to wear any of them. Her two little daughters decide to do something about it--break their piggy bank! But when there isn't enough money to buy Ammi a sari, the two girls must work together to find a solution. Will they be able to buy Ammi the gift she so deserves? With a text full of heart, and bright, cheerful artwork, this story brings readers into the home of a weaver's family in Kaithoon, India, where the creation of saris is an art form. The book includes a glossary of Indian terms and a note about the saris made in this region.

Revised edition: Previously published as A Saree for Ammi, this edition of A Sari for Ammi includes editorial revisions.
