A new picture book from Simran Jeet Singh, A Vaisakhi to Remember
celebrates community and heritage as a young girl looks for points of
connection in a new country through the joyous Sikh spring harvest
holiday of Vaisakhi. In our village, the best day of all was Vaisakhi,
the spring harvest festival . . . When a Sikh family moves from their
village in India to a faraway city on the other side of the world, a
girl yearns for her grandmother's hugs, her goat Ramu, and the lush
fields filled with yellow flowers and wheat. How will they celebrate
Vaisakhi in her new and unfamiliar surroundings? But the girl soon
discovers soothing touchstones—a special outfit, a trip to gurdwara,
delicious food, and new friends—that make gathering for Vaisakhi
still the best day of all. With gorgeous, intricate illustrations by
debut children’s book illustrator Japneet Kaur, this touching story
from Simran Jeet Singh shows us that while life changes, home is where
we build community and carry traditions forward.
