Some are made of cotton and others of fine silk. Each is brightly colored and very pretty. Don't you ever want to wear a green dress like me? Rupa asks. But Dadima prefers to wear her traditional saris. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDadima shares 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by Kashmira Sheth's American-born daughters' curiosity, \u003ci\u003eMy Dadima Wears a Sari\u003c\/i\u003e introduces readers to this wardrobe staple from the Indian subcontinent, the different styles and ways it can be worn, and its beauty and benefits.
