Anisa is super-excited about International Day and canât wait to share her motherâs samosas with her class. But when someone else has the exact same idea, Anisa is crushed.
Going to her aunt's dholki party gives her an idea for the perfect activity insteadâmehndi! Thereâs only one problem: Anisaâs best friend doesnât seem to like the idea. She doesnât even seem to like Anisa anymore.
Will Anisa ever get to enjoy International Day?Â
