An artistic, fashion-loving boy unlocks a new talent-and learns to stand up for it-in this chapter book perfect for fans of the Sadiq series and Meet Yasmin! Tehzeeb drew curvy clouds, grand galaxies, squirmy squiggles, and delicate dots. He made charming checkerboards and even perfected paisleys. His practice was finally paying off! The first time Tehzeeb tries mehndi, his passion for the art form blossoms. Soon, he's creating designs for all his friends and family, and dreams of becoming the most in-demand mehndi artist in town. So Tez is hurt and confused when his favorite uncle tells him mehndi isn't for boys. His art brings people joy. How could it be wrong? Tehzeeb doesn't want to disappoint his uncle. But when a crisis before his cousin's wedding puts his talents to the test, Tehzeeb must find the courage to be his true creative self. Jani Balakumar's expressive, vibrant illustrations bring Tehzeeb's designs-and his community-to life. This charming, affirming story by debut author Zain Bandali will have you celebrating creativity, artistic expression, and being unapologetically yourself. Readers can learn more about mehndi at home with activities at the end of the book. ZAIN BANDALI is an unapologetic Ismaili Muslim queer artist of Indo-Tanzanian heritage living in Ontario, Canada. He writes on themes related to mysticism, queerness, diasporas, and where they interact. His poetry has been published in multiple journals and his spoken word has graced stages across the province. He is an avid vegetable gardener but cannot always stomach the chilli peppers he grows. JANI BALAKUMAR is a Tamil-Canadian illustrator and 2D animator that resides in Toronto, Canada. She has a bachelor's in animation from Sheridan College where she honed her craft. Her works often have a bold palette and mixed textural elements to make the work pop off the page. BIPOC PROTAGONIST: demand is high for early chapter readers featuring BIPOC main characters CELEBRATE SELF-EXPRESSION: celebrates creativity, artistic expression, and being unapologetically yourself with positive, uplifting representation of a boy exploring queerness and gender expression DEBUT: a success story from Annick's mentorship program for authors from communities historically excluded from children's publishing, this is Zain's first book VIVID ILLUSTRATIONS: vibrant, full-color illustrations feature throughout COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION: rich and nuanced representation of Indo-East African, Ismaili Muslim community BACKMATTER EXTRAS: an activity available for readers and a glossary of terms used throughout the book "A delightful story about finding inspiration in unexpected places, the virtue of practice, and the beauty in so-called imperfection. Tez's tenacity is admirable and, ultimately, transformative. The world needs more 'mehndi boys'!" "A triumph . . . navigates topics such as socially constructed gender roles and the evolution of culture and tradition, while also showcasing a beautiful form of art and a joyful childhood experience." -Danny Ramadan, author of Salma the Syrian Chef and Salma Makes a Home [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/16162876 [pa] => [publisher] => Annick Press [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
