 This book was AWESOME!  Laxmi is worried when her friends points out she has a little moustache.  Girls are not supposed to have mustaches, or hair all over their bodies! Laxmi’s mother does a great job at pointing out that everyone has hair in very odd places and it serves a purpose.  Laxmi takes her mom’s lesson back to school with her and shares the love of a little hair with everyone.  This book was so great.  It takes a child feeling ashamed about themselves, and turning it around into an important lesson that makes everyone feel better.
