Remembering Baba

Written by Mathangi Subramanian
Illustrated by Shweta Agarwal

   The tabletop was covered in wonderful things. There were packets of fuzzy pipe cleaners and pompoms. There were markers and watercolors and crayons, and there was even a set of glitter pen.
   Shahanaz took a piece of red construction paper and a gold glitter pen. But when she picked up the pen, she realized that she didn’t know what to do.
   Shahanaz hadn’t seen her Baba in three years. She couldn’t remember how his voice sounded or how tall he was or what color his eyes were. She didn’t know what he would like on an Eid card.
