A story of everyday life with a feminist message about a young Indian girl and her sisters managing a busy house full of lively guests on a Saturday burka. Saturday mornings start early for Mina. She and her sisters watch the sunrise while drinking tea before cleaning the house and visiting the grocery store... while their brother stays in bed. As the guests arrive, including Mina's beloved cousins, the women gather in the kitchen to cook. The doorbell rings incessantly as family, neighbors, and friends fill the busy house. Once the fresh chapatis are prepared, dinner begins - for the men. But Mina notices an empty seat at the table and decides that today is the day she will make an important change. Saturday Mina by Kusum Mehpani, with lively illustrations by Yasmin Ismail, is the charming story of a family Saturday ritual, a love letter to community and family gatherings, and an example of how changes in long-standing traditions can start with you.
