Description:

Sarayu has always looked a little different from her school friends, but she never thought much about it. Then her family suddenly moves to India, and she is surrounded by cousins, aunties and neighbours who all have opinions about her looks, especially her skin colour. Why does her Nani call her “kaali”? Why does it hurt so much? With help from long chats with her dad across time zones and the warmth of her Bengaluru family, Sarayu finds people she can trust. She also finds the courage to ask big questions. It’s a heartfelt chapter book about identity and self-love.
