Bina loves her three big brothers, and there's only a week until Raksha Bandhan. This year Bina wants to make the bracelets she gives them, so she finds out from each brother their favorite and least favorite colors, shops with mom at the bead store and even gets a special bead for each that represents their hobbies. But when she tries to make the bracelets, she has to figure out how to use 2 of the the three colors in a pattern and feature each brothers' favorite, without using the color they don't like.
I learned about a holiday, a fun tradition, and saw a great family with attentive and loving brothers. Plus, math and a craft. What a delightful picture book, the illustrations were great, colorful and detailed. Includes an author's note and math craft ideas with beads.
