Mommy, Am I Indian Today? by Sheeba Varghese – Review by Nichole Chrisman

Mommy, Am I Indian Today? by Sheeba Varghese
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story introduced children to the idea that just because they aren’t celebrating their culture everyday doesn’t mean they aren’t a part of that culture. In this story the little boy asks his mom if he is Indian that day because they are getting dressed in traditional Indian clothing for a wedding. The mom explains where their family is from and how they are always Indian. The illustrations help the author paint a beautiful portrait of this family and the country of their heritage. This is a very short story and doesn’t deep dive into the idea of cultural self. What it does do is open the conversation for families.
