""Prahbat’s bright and bold colors showcase a bustling Indian bazaar populated by expressive characters who range in complexion; dynamic font sizes and colors ramp up the fun. With the various greetings, Wadhwani speaks to the linguistic diversity of Nanu and the child’s community — a nice touch. Strikingly illustrated and likely to elicit chuckles."" —Kirkus Reviews ""In an entertaining new picture book, Wadhwani introduces important aspects of Indian culture with humor and fun. . . . Whether to amplify cultural connections or intergenerational ones, this title is sure to be a story hour read-aloud hit."" —School Library Journal
