APPEALS TO: MANY
A young girl from Pakistan proudly explains what a dupatta is. She shows the many important functions of a dupatta and why women and children choose to wear them.
I really liked this book because it answers questions that I think a lot of kids have about dupattas. It shows that not only are they worn for formal reasons, but it can also be a choice whether to wear one or not. I learned a lot of interesting facts and enjoyed the note from the author and glossary.
