Description:

In the weaving town of Bhavani, colour and craft run through every thread. When little Sumi's grandfather — a master weaver — is chosen to create a jamakkalam, the traditional handwoven blanket, for the temple goddess, the whole family swells with pride at this rare honour. But when Thatha's ageing hands begin to falter and the rhythmic pit loom falls silent, Sumi steps up to find a way to keep his promise alive. Told in lyrical, song-like prose, this beautiful picture book carries readers through rivers of dyed blue yarn, the steady music of the loom, and the warmth of a community pulling together. A heartfelt tribute to heritage, perseverance, and the artistry of Tamil Nadu's jamakkalam weavers, it gently celebrates the love and skill woven into something made by hand.
