Gauri is rough and tumble, fond of soccer and skateboarding. Nandini is stylish, gentle, and poised. But one day, while her sister practices Bharatanatyam, Gauri hears Nandini’s ghungroos jingling. Enchanted by the tinkling ankle bells, Gauri must try the dance for herself. As her sister teaches her rhythm, graceful hand movements, and elegant poses, Gauri stomps along . . . but her ghungroos sound jittery and offbeat, her mudra isn’t pretty, and she can’t stay balanced. Soon she despairs of ever dancing as beautifully as her sister. Will Gauri have to give up on her dreams of exploring her more graceful side? Featuring an author’s note about Indian classical dance, this playful picture book debut invites readers to break out of their prescribed roles and experience the joys of working hard on something new.\u003cb\u003eNeha Rawat\u003c\/b\u003e is the illustrator of several books for young readers, including \u003ci\u003eWhat Color Is the Baby?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Celebration of Skin Tones\u003c\/i\u003e by Harshini Vankineni and \u003ci\u003eMasala Chai, Fast and Slow\u003c\/i\u003e by Rajani LaRocca. \u003ci\u003eGhungroos for Gauri\u003c\/i\u003e is her author-illustrator debut.
