Marya Khan and the Incredible Henna Party (Marya Khan #01)
Perfect for fans of Ivy & Bean and Dory Fantasmagory, MARYA KHAN AND THE INCREDIBLE HENNA PARTY is the start of a charming chapter book series from acclaimed author Saadia Faruqi about a Pakistani American third-grader whose plans may backfire but whose persistence and heart are inspiring.
Marya's eighth birthday is coming up in a week, and all she wants is an over-the-top birthday party just like the ones Alexa, her rich neighbor, always throws. When Alexa parades into school with fancy invitations, Marya can't help herself -- she claims that she's having the most epic henna party ever.
Now she has to convince her family to make it happen. Enter Operation Help the Khans! Marya's siblings clearly need help with their projects. Maybe she could cook dinner for her parents, or clean her grandmother's room? Except everything Marya does seems to end in disaster. Will Marya and her family be able to pull it together and throw the best party ever?
Featuring black-and-white illustrations by Ani Bushry and a selection of henna designs to trace and color.
