“A beautifully rendered, touching celebration of sharing traditions across generations and cultures." ―Kirkus (Starred Review)

Priya lives in the United States and her family is from India. She feels the magic of the place her family comes from through her Babi Ba's colorful descriptions of India--from the warm smell of spices to the swish-swish sound of a rustling sari. Together, Priya and Babi Ba make their heritage live on through the traditions that they infuse into their everyday lives.

Priya Dreams of Marigolds & Masala is a celebration of the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, the threads that connect each of us to our heritage, and the power of sharing our traditions with others.

What a colorful and warm book!

What a colorful and warm book!
What a colorful and warm book! Priya Dreams of Marigolds and Masala is truly a heartwarming story.Love the simplicity of the story but specially how much emotion and memories it evokes. It reminded me of my Grandma and the stories she used to tell. I was born and brought up outside India so it really reminds me of my childhood where my grandma and parents tried to explain and share what India is like, what is smells like, what it tastes like, etc. They also tried to create a sense of pride of who I am. Now that I have children of my own, also born outside India, this beautiful and heart warming book feels even closer. I have shared with my kids, but can't wait to share it with other friends!Beautiful story and amazing illustrations Meenal!

I recently added the beautiful picture book Priya Dreams of Marigolds and Masala to our home library. Every day Priya asks her Babi Ba, "What is India like?" Her Babi Ba (Grandmother) shares her memories of the colors, smells, sounds, and sights of India. And Priya gives a gift just as beautiful in return. (You will have to read to find out!) My kids and I love this book and connect to it personally. As I read it and sunk into Meenal's illustrations, my heart longed (as it does often) to return to India. Meenal's tender and colorful story is one we will read many times over.
