# Mango Memories - Library Binding

by **Sita Singh** (Author), **Nabi H. Ali** (Illustrator)

**Here is a completely captivating picture book that celebrates family, tradition...and mangoes!**

Every summer, the branches of a little girl's favorite tree droops heavy with mangoes. And this year, she is _finally_ old enough to help her family harvest them.

Her brother shares a memory about his first time mango picking: his father holding him steady as he reached high above for the fruit. But when the girl climbs the tree, she becomes too dizzy. Then her grandma shares a mango memory: learning, many years ago, to toss a stone that knocked the fruit from the branches. But when the girl throws her stone, she keeps missing.

How can this little heroine create her _own_ mango memory if she can't even pick a mango?

Narrated by a determined young Indian child, and set in a lush mango grove, here is a picture book that honors generational traditions and beautifully introduces young readers to a culture with which they may not be familiar.
