A little girls sees her mothers sari as "long like a train" & that it "fills the air with color when I dance & sing." A blue sari is a "river"; a patterned one is a place to hide with her friends. Best of all, the youngster wraps herself in the vivid cloth because she loves how it makes her dream. The endpapers demonstrate how to wrap the garment. Full-spread illustrations capture the colors & textures of the fabrics & the little girl's wide-eyed playfulness & love of her mother's attire.
