Jaya's Something Special

By Shireen Lalji

Jaya's Something Special is an empowering picture book about what it really means to be special.

It's Zeena Masi and Aunty Maria's wedding day, and the house is busy with people doing special jobs Jaya wants a special job, too. But everything she tries to help with just goes wrong--she drops a tray of candies, gets tangled in lights, and splodges her mehndi patterns. She can't seem to get anything right.

But just when she feels at her smallest and least special, some wise words from her beloved aunties remind her that she doesn't have to DO anything special--she IS special, no matter what.

This beautiful book is a wonderful celebration of the magic of extended families, and the special connections between aunties and nieces.
