While Supplies Last
Tomorrow is moving day and one little girl worries about moving so far, far away from her Aaji and Ajoba. But Aaji gifts her with a handmade kurta. A kurta with two big pockets for holding all the small things that will remind the girl of her grandparents--from the mogra flowers in Aaji's hair to Ajoba's diya. Then the girl has an even better idea and helps Aaji make two more kurtas with pockets she can fill to remind her grandparents of her too. When finally they are on other sides of a big ocean, they put on their kurtas--and do not feel so far, far away from one another. This touching story about worry and loving reassurance is part of our Own Voices, Own Stories collection.

Chloe ★★★★★

The way the story captures that anxious feeling before a big move really resonated with my kids, and the han illustration from the signed copy is so warm and detailed.

Charlotte E. ★★★★★

My daughter was so nervous about our upcoming move, but this story about a little girl and her grandparents really helped her open up. The way it captures that specific worry of leaving loved ones feels very real.

Matthew E. ★★★★★

The signed illustration on the title page is such a lovely keepsake for my daughter. It’s the perfect way to talk about missing grandparents and big life changes, and the story handles it with so much warmth. We’ve already read it three times tonight.
