A lyrical and charming picture book celebrating the dupatta, a traditional shawl worn in South Asian cultures. A dupatta is so much more than a beautiful piece of fabric. A dupatta is sound - swooshing and swashing like a superhero cape. A dupatta is scent - cinnamon and cardamom, crushed coriander and peppermint oil. A dupatta is fun - playing peekaboo and building cushion forts with dupatta canopies. Dupattas - shawls traditionally worn by women in various cultures of South Asia - are beautiful and colourful of course, but they're also fun, functional, and carry the sounds and smells of family and identity.
