Summary

"When Kundana meets her newborn sister, Kuku, she declares her the prettiest baby in the world. But as grandparents, aunts, and uncles welcome Kuku, all they want to know is what color she is. Is she a marigold like her sister? Or a white jasmine? As the family gazes at Kuku's brown skin, big sister Kundana wonders why her family would care what color Kuku is--she's beautiful!" --Front flap.
