An outstanding, inspiring storybook about Kamala Harris' life and career

"In this lyrical picture book, a young girl learns how to make a bindi in the traditional way with the help of her Paati. Into the clay pot go the ingredients, such as turmeric and sandalwood powder. She stirs and stirs and stirs until ... like magic, the mixture transforms from yellow to bright red. When the girl wears her bindi, she discovers what it means to her -- how it keeps her calm and centered, and helps her see the world as one. From author Suma Subramaniam comes this beautiful story about mindfulness and celebrating the cultural traditions that make us who we are"--

Namaste is a greeting. A smile. A friendship. A celebration. Namaste is "I bow to you."Namaste can be many things. It's hello!, a moment of silence or of comfort, something to say when you're happy or when you're feeling low. For this little girl, namaste is all around her as she navigates her way with Mum through a bustling city and busy marketplace. Returning home with a small houseplant, she chooses to gift this to an elderly neighbour. A simple gesture of kindness resonates to show the power of community and its caring bonds through sad or trying times. Namaste Is a Greeting is an exploration of namaste through everyday observation and simple actions to honour the divine within all people.
