A reassuring picture book celebration of individuality and heritage told with heart, emotion and evocative illustrations, for every child battling with their self-esteem or anxiety about wearing cultural dress. "Beautiful . . . Reflects the reality of many young people who may feel unsure of traditional clothing and how it might be perceived by others." Inclusive Books for Children "An affirming story about accepting and loving ourselves and our cultural traditions." Kirkus Reviews "A sincere ending. . . shows the rich and intricate layers of their diverse cultures that make them beautiful and empowers viewers to embrace their identity with confidence." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Celebrate each other's unique identity and build tolerance, empathy and understanding of everybody's background in this authentic and sensitively told story from Sophia Payne and the 2023 Diverse Book Award-winning illustrator Ruchi Mhasane. Ameena can't wait for her aunty's wedding. She is wearing a brand-new salwar kameez - the layers of floaty fabric filled with pretty patterns make her feel like a princess. But when someone comments on her "pyjamas", she loses all confidence, fearing that her friends might not accept her traditional clothing. Through courage, family love and self-belief, Ameena discovers what it means to take pride in the beautiful layers of her heritage, especially in the face of difficult comments.
