What makes a little girl feel pretty and all grown up? Dressing up like Mama, of course!

When Mama pulls out her suitcase and reveals a treasure trove of silk, chiffon, and embroidered saris, her daughter is fascinated. If her mother is wearing a sari, she wants to wear one, too!

Mama's Saris captures a tender and magical moment between a mother who cherishes her little girl and a daughter who can't wait to grow up.

A vibrant tapastry of jewel-like colors and intricate designs, Mama's Saris is also an introduction to Indian culture and a celebration of its most timeless and traditional dress.
