"Bindiya in India is a welcome addition to the landscape of South Asian stories geared for children.  Representation truly does matter and it is a necessity for every kid to see more of themselves in the literary world. Also, I am South Asian myself and I cherish my upbringing!! I want to share it with anyone and everyone.  This book genuinely reminds me of going to my first Indian wedding.  I've been to many and I feel like Indian weddings encapsulate so many of the traditions that make the culture beautifully unique. What better way to learn about Indian adventures than through the eyes of our new cool friend Bindiya.  That being said, this book is universal in theme and will appeal to everyone, regardless of their background.  Meaning, it is not only for Indians.  It is the kind of book that will help bridge the gap, and it's about time we all walk over that bridge together. I'm grateful to this author because I think the more people share, the more others will care.  I'm glad this story was shared. I highly recommend it. If you care. :)"
