Mommy, Am I Indian Today? by Sheeba Varghese

The young boy noticed that his mom was having them dress in their special clothes that they only wore to big events. He asks his mom if he’s Indian today. She explains to him how her parents came to America to make a better life for their family and the boy was born in America. However, he is Indian everyday no matter what clothes he wears. His mom is honoring their culture and legacy by wearing their traditional attire and explaining her parents’ history.

This is a beautifully illustrated story that shows the author’s culture. It is so important to share different cultures with people so they learn the histories, the beauty of each one.
