eSource: A Card for My Mom

It is Mother’s Day tomorrow, and the shops are sparkling with lights and gifts, with people, laughter, and excitement—looking for the perfect gift to bring a smile of joy to moms at home.

Among the candles and balloons, the orchids and chocolate hearts, one young girl searches for a card that features a mom who looks like hers. Her mom has gold bangles that jingle-jangle when she washes the curry pots. Her mom wears silk kameez when she buys papaya at the market. Her mom has dark eyes that flash when she dances the bhangra. What will the little girl do if she can’t find a card with a mom who looks like hers?

This is a lively, inclusive picture book about identity and belonging that joyfully celebrates moms and motherhood.
