Marya Khan and the Incredible Henna Party by Saadia Faruqi

5.0

This early chapter book hits all the right notes: the emotions of being in grade 3, the pain of sharing your birthday with someone you don’t really like, trying your best to have it just not quite work out, but having it all come together in a positive way for our relatable protagonist. At 12 chapters, this would be a perfect read aloud for grade 2-4, or an independent read for someone ready for something beyond Branches/Acorn type books.
