Rice Boy by Sunil Kuruvilla
In front of a house in India, sixteen-year-old Tina learns the ancient arts of kolam, the creation of elaborate patterns with rice powder, from her great-grandmother, in preparation for her marriage to a man she has never met. Meanwhile, in front of a house in Canada, Tina’s cousin, Tommy, sits in a tree, trying to make sense of his heritage.
