The Comb
Simran sits between her mum's knees while the kanga moves through her hair — a quiet evening ritual that helps untangle feelings as well as hair.
From Simran Kaur and the Knot — the second book in the Five Kakars series.
Every evening, Simran sits between her mum's knees while her mum combs her hair with the kanga — a small wooden comb that belonged to her nani. Tonight there's a knot in her hair, and a knot in her chest too.
What to colour: the wooden kanga, the shelf and mirror, Simran's long braid, the warm kitchen light.
