My Dadima Wears a Sari (Kashmira Sheth)

Summary: Every day, Rupa's grandmother wears a beautiful Indian sari.  Each is brightly colored and very beautiful.  Don't you ever want to wear a gray skirt and red blouse with round buttons like Mommy or a green dress like me?, Rupa asks.  But Dadima prefers to wear her traditional saris.  She shares with her granddaughter all the wonderful things that saris can do--from becoming an umbrella in a rainstorm to providing a deep pouch to carry seashells.  Soon Rupa's own imagination is sparked as she envisions saris protecting her in the scary Gir Jungle, bandaging up an injured knee, and holding a special secret for her and Dadima to share.  (from amazon.com)
