READER'S REVIEWS
★★★★★
“Filled with bright, geometric shapes, Oza’s artwork sets a whimsical tone; scenes involving the kite festival are particularly charming, as is a montage of Mini painstakingly designing her own kite. Though it encounters a few bumps along the way, this tale ultimately soars.”
Kirkus Review
“A familial narrative centered on Sankranti, the Indian festival of kites,
transforms sibling rivalry into a tale of innovation. ”
Publishers Weekly
"K-Gr 3–A vibrant story of siblings that creates a window and mirror into India and a very fun tradition that kids of any age will want to try for themselves. This strong choice can be used across multiple grades as a read-aloud or as part of a math lesson involving kites and competition."
