Chanani, Nidhi.

Pashmina / Nidhi Chanani. - First edition. - New York : First Second, 2017. - 161 pages : chiefly color illustrations ; 22 cm.

Indian-American teen Priyanka "Pri" Das attempts to reconnect with her mother's homeland through a magical pashmina shawl. Priyanka Das has so many unanswered questions: Why did her mother abandon her home in India years ago? What was it like there? And most importantly, who is her father, and why did her mom leave him behind? But Pri's mom avoids these questions and the topic of India is permanently closed. For Pri, her mother's homeland can only exist in her imagination. That is, until she find a mysterious pashmina tucked away in a forgotten suitcase. When she wraps herself in it, she is transported to a place more vivid and colorful than any guidebook or Bollywood film.
