Nadia has been chosen to be the flower girl in Auntie Laila's traditional Pakistani wedding. Her hands are decorated for the occasion with beautiful and intricate designs made on the hands with a natural dye called henna.

When Nadia's hands are done, she worries what her classmates will say. Will they understand that the decoration on her hands is part of her Pakistani heritage?

Karen English's loving story of a Pakistani-American girl who comes to an understanding of the rich culture she has inherited is vividly illustrated by Jonathan Weiner.
