A new picture book from Simran Jeet Singh, A Vaisakhi to Remember celebrates community and heritage as a young girl looks for points of connection in a new country through the joyous Sikh spring harvest holiday of Vaisakhi.

In our village, the best day of all was Vaisakhi, the spring harvest festival . . .



When a Sikh family moves from their village in India to a faraway city on the other side of the world, a girl yearns for her grandmother's hugs, her goat Ramu, and the lush fields filled with yellow flowers and wheat. How will they celebrate Vaisakhi in her new and unfamiliar surroundings?

But the girl soon discovers soothing touchstones—a special outfit, a trip to gurdwara, delicious food, and new friends—that make gathering for Vaisakhi still the best day of all.

With gorgeous, intricate illustrations by debut children’s book illustrator Japneet Kaur, this touching story from Simran Jeet Singh shows us that while life changes, home is where we build community and carry traditions forward.

Elizabeth Z. ★★★★★

The signed copy makes this feel extra special—my daughter loves tracing the author's signature with her finger. The story about finding connection in a new community really resonated with us as recent movers.

Edward ★★★★★

The illustrations capturing the parade scenes are so vibrant, it feels like we're right there with the characters. My kid keeps asking to flip back to the page with the dhol player every single night.

James P. ★★★★★

My daughter is at that age where she loves seeing kids like her in stories, so the way this book highlights community and heritage through a young girl’s eyes feels special. The signed copy was a nice bonus I wasn’t expecting when I ordered.
