Once fresh chapatis are made, dinner begins―for the men. But Meena spots an empty seat at the table and decides today is the day she makes an important change.Meena’s Saturday by Kusum Mepani, with exuberant illustrations by Yasmeen Ismail, is the charming story of a family’s weekend ritual, a love letter to the gatherings of community and family, and an example of how changing long-standing traditions can start with you.
