"In Nadia's Hands, a young Pakistani American girl worries about what her classmates will say when they see the intricate designs painted on her hands as she prepares to be the flower girl in her aunt's wedding. But as she participates in the traditional ceremony, Nadia learns to appreciate the beauty of her hands -- and the richness of her heritage."
