A young family is forced to leave the land they love in search of a new home. Poisoned soils and dried up rivers have made farming impossible. Holding onto memories of humble ingredients, Papa learns how to make a different kind of cheese and the long and slow process of waiting begins. As the seasons pass, the cheese matures and time for a stamp approaches. Will the cheese wheels make the mark? A stamp, is what the family is waiting for too.

When five ugly and dried up seeds are found, Elders and little ones wonder if they will grow anything at all. Some throw the seeds aside, while others hold out hope. An allegory rooted in the social despair of a time not too contrary to our own. With a tyrant ruler and unfair social class system, discover how a nation-building event in Sikh history harvested citizens of change.

With a quiet compassion for the natural world, a father and daughter explore the meaning of beauty. Land bound Sundees turn into high flying butterflies, and gentle, but endangered Chiru snuggle into their warm Shahtooshi. As father lays his Little One to bed, she is filled with a renewed sense of love and respect for the Earth and all living things, including herself.

Join this little human’s quest of self-discovery through the metaphor of a lion’s mane. The narrative’s rhythm flows alongside the vibrant red fabric of a dastaar (turban worn by members of the Sikh community), strengthening the character’s identity with each new word stitched into the dastaar.
