Illustrated by
Jonathan Weiner.
To be the flower girl at her cousin's wedding, a young Pakistani-American girl has her hands painted with traditional designs of mehndi (henna paste). The designs don't wash right off, and Nadia's a little concerned about how her classmates will react on Monday. Sometimes figures or hands are awkwardly rendered in the oil pastel drawings, but the story, though slight, has appeal.
