About This Book
Savita returns home to Mombasa, Kenya after a long journey visiting relatives in India, carrying a mysterious bundle from her ancestral homeland. Together with her friend Njeri, she watches her mother open the bundle to reveal spices, and the girls share in preparing a traditional coastal dish. Drawing on the author’s own experiences growing up in Kenya, this picture book celebrates the vibrant Indian-Kenyan heritage that has shaped East Africa.
