Although boys and men are relegated to tending to the sheep, Sadiq loves to embroider like his Ammi mom. When Ammi gets a high fever, Sadiq steps in to finish his mother's work. A happy ending where Sadiq's reluctant Ammi finally sees his talent and shares it with their community.

Lovely watercolor illustrations juxtapose natural browns and greens with the vibrant beauty of the embroidery--allowing us to feel Sadiq's affinity towards the artwork.
