Every child is born with infinite possibilities. That is why all parents do their best to teach their children how to be happy, responsible, and successful. Historic heroes, cultural symbols and nature’s wonders play vital roles in a child’s learning experience.
Dedicated to all mothers, Maa’s Magical Saree is a fond story of an Indian mother and her son.
Based on Hindu deities, philosophy and way of living the mother inspires her son to be a good human. She teaches her son to be emotionally strong, thankful and compassionate. The son loves his mother and her sarees. He links the teachings of his mother to her colorful sarees.
What his mother teaches him, the colors of her sarees reinforce, taking the reader on a journey not only to understand the values of Hinduism, but to feel the respect a young son has for his mother.
