Henna is... / written by Marzieh Abbas ; illustrated by Anu Chouhan.
"A picture book that serves young readers as a lyrical love letter to henna, written by Muslim Book Reviewer Award winner Marzieh Abbas and brilliantly illustrated by Anu Chouhan. Henna is so much more than a form of temporary body art. Henna is nature -- seeds sprouted into shrubs, leaves kissed by tropical rain. Henna is color -- the orange of juicy mangoes, sun-kissed brown, or black as the feathers of crows. Henna is fragrance -- earthy and nutty, lemony and clove-y. The intricate patterns of flowers, feathers, vines, and other symbols painted and stained onto skin has been a tradition in cultures all around the world for thousands of years. Beautiful and eye-catching, henna also carries the scents, textures, and colors of family and identity"-- Publisher's website.
A lyrical and charming picture book celebrating henna, a traditional plant-based form of temporary tattooing in South Asian, North African and Middle Eastern cultures.
