Sunflower Sisters

A heartwarming celebration of all skin shades, from sun-browned to autumn-leaf-gold!
Amrita and Kiki are best friends and sunflower sisters. Amrita's older sister is getting married, but when the elder relatives arrive, they start dispensing some old-fashioned and dubious advice. Luckily, Amrita's mother has a lesson or two to teach about that! With the support and empowerment of their moms, the sunflower sisters are two strong, confident girls - one South Asian the other Nigerian - finding joy in their own skin.
