In the town of Bhavani, yarns of colour weave a picture of spirit and strength.
When little Sumi’s grandfather, a skilled weaver, is chosen to make a jamakkalam for the temple goddess, it feels like the highest honour their family has ever received. But when Thatha’s hands begin to falter and the pit loom falls silent, Sumi must find a way to help.
Through rivers of blue, the song of the loom, and the warmth of community, this lyrical picture book written by Lakshmi V. and illustrated by Zainab Tambawalla celebrates tradition, craftsmanship, and the artistry of the jamakkalam weavers of Tamil Nadu.
