Description
In her debut as author-illustrator, Neha Rawat offers a story joyfully rooted in Indian traditional culture, sibling love, and multidimensional girlhood.

Gauri and her sister, Nandini, are opposites, like sunshine and shade. Gauri is rough and tumble, fond of soccer and skateboarding. Nandini is stylish, gentle, and poised. But one day, while her sister practices Bharatanatyam, Gauri hears Nandini's ghungroos jingling. Enchanted by the tinkling ankle bells, Gauri must try the dance for herself. As her sister teaches her rhythm, graceful hand movements, and elegant poses, Gauri stomps along . . . but her ghungroos sound jittery and offbeat, her mudra isn't pretty, and she can't stay balanced. Soon she despairs of ever dancing as beautifully as her sister. Will Gauri have to give up on her dreams of exploring her more graceful side? Featuring an author's note about Indian classical dance, this playful picture book debut invites readers to break out of their prescribed roles and experience the joys of working hard on something new.
