Nisha has a big family, and they love to give hugs. Nisha loves her ammamma and appappa, but when they arrived from India after a long absence, she suddenly felt very shy. It was just too scary to hug them. Nisha's mom assured her that there are lots of ways to show love. So instead, Nisha shares one of her paintings with them.

A sweet story about a little girl figuring out how she best likes to show love. She learns that there are many ways to show love, and she can do what feels best for her. The illustrations are fun, bright, and vibrant.
