Ammi weaves the most beautiful saris but never gets to wear any of them.
Her two little daughters decide to do something about it--break their
piggy bank! But when there isn't enough money to buy Ammi a sari, the
two girls must work together to find a solution. Will they be able to
buy Ammi the gift she so deserves? With a text full of heart, and
bright, cheerful artwork, this story brings readers into the home of a
weaver's family in Kaithoon, India, where the creation of saris is an
art form. The book includes a glossary of Indian terms and a note about
the saris made in this region.
Revised edition: Previously published as A Saree for Ammi, this
edition of A Sari for Ammi includes editorial revisions.
