I liked the elements, but Pashmina doesn't quite manage to hang together, for me. The plot keeps darting in different directions, each of which could be the basis for an entire book (the ill-advised prayer which might have come true? mysterious family stuff? the difference between how you imagine a place and reality? straight up magic?), and then doesn't have time to resolve any of them satisfyingly. (A god shows up and tells you it's OK, the baby is going to be fine. You solved half the mysterious family stuff, but what is up with your aunt and uncle's relationship? The scarf is powerful because it shows women their options, and that's the thing that matters most!/Except how you imagine things is always different from how they are, and understanding the difference between fantasy and reality is what matters most! Yup straight up magic and ghosts all of a sudden at the end.)

The strongest thread is the one about the twin experiences of being an immigrant and being a child of the diaspora: colorful dreams that reality can't quite live up to, while also trying to distance yourself from the thing that wants to define you. That thread is enough to carry the book, you just have to live with the loose ends. ( )

Such a unique story! And I love the art style. I discovered this after reading Saints by Gene Luen Yang- it was in the suggestions on that book page.

I just wished this could've been longer- I wanted to see more of Pri's other comics, like the "Gym" one. And maybe to see more of her mom's experience growing up in India. ( )

Pri questions her mothers motives for moving from her homeland: India. And an even more important question arises: Who is her father and why did he get left behind?
Pri can only use her imagination to figure out what her mother's life was prior to her being born, until she finds a magical pashmina shawl. This shawl takes Pri to the homeland and all of her questions get answered. ( )

In a long forgotten suitcase Mom’s old pashmina is tucked away. Determined to be seen, the pashmina moved itself and the suitcase right into Pri’s path. Several times! Once discovered, the pashmina transported Pri to her mother’s native land, India. Pri had to experience India for herself. Taking her farther than ever before to meet extended family and discover the real India.

Nidhi Chanani wrote and illustrated the graphic novel Pashmina. This heartwarming tail demonstrates the struggles experienced by immigrants and their children. Nidhi does a majority of her work in a monoclonal scale. When illustrations are in full color it creates a lot of stimulation. Pashmina is a lighthearted family tale for any day and all ages. ( )
