Billu Buttons
Written by Gus Singh
Illustrated by Delzin Choksey
Published by Modern Marigold Books
Billu is one independent kid. He loves doing things himself, especially getting dressed in the morning. At school, his friends affectionately call him Billu Buttons, because his buttons are never quite lined up right, the left corner of his shirt would never stay tucked in, and his shoelaces were always coming undone. On his birthday, when his friends try to surprise Billu by celebrating his signature style, he surprises-and inspires-them in return.
Featuring a confident Sikh boy, this inspiring picture book celebrates the power of positive thinking and self-acceptance at every stage of one’s growth.
