Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Such a unique story! And I love the art style. I discovered this after reading Saints by Gene Luen Yang- it was in the suggestions on that book page. I just wished this could've been longer- I wanted to see more of Pri's other comics, like the "Gym" one. And maybe to see more of her mom's experience growing up in India. Pri questions her mothers motives for moving from her homeland: India. And an even more important question arises: Who is her father and why did he get left behind? Pri can only use her imagination to figure out what her mother's life was prior to her being born, until she finds a magical pashmina shawl. This shawl takes Pri to the homeland and all of her questions get answered. In a long forgotten suitcase Mom’s old pashmina is tucked away. Determined to be seen, the pashmina moved itself and the suitcase right into Pri’s path. Several times! Once discovered, the pashmina transported Pri to her mother’s native land, India. Pri had to experience India for herself. Taking her farther than ever before to meet extended family and discover the real India. Nidhi Chanani wrote and illustrated the graphic novel Pashmina. This heartwarming tail demonstrates the struggles experienced by immigrants and their children. Nidhi does a majority of her work in a monoclonal scale. When illustrations are in full color it creates a lot of stimulation. Pashmina is a lighthearted family tale for any day and all ages. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Indian-American teen, Priyanka "Pri" Das, attempts to reconnect with her mother's homeland through a magical pashmina shawl. Presented in comic book format.
Priyanka Das has so many unanswered questions: Why did her mother abandon her home in India years ago? What was it like there? And most importantly, who is her father, and why did her mom leave him behind? But Pri's mom avoids these questions and the topic of India is permanently closed. For Pri, her mother's homeland can only exist in her imagination. That is, until she find a mysterious pashmina tucked away in a forgotten suitcase. When she wraps herself in it, she is transported to a place more vivid and colorful than any guidebook or Bollywood film. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

The strongest thread is the one about the twin experiences of being an immigrant and being a child of the diaspora: colorful dreams that reality can't quite live up to, while also trying to distance yourself from the thing that wants to define you. That thread is enough to carry the book, you just have to live with the loose ends. ( )
