Mumtaz Embroiders Her Dreams
Young Mumtaz has come from her village to Lucknow to learn new stitches for the chikankari that she and the other women in her village do. Thanks to her friend Munnu, Mumtaz learns even more than she had imagined! Jolly Rohtagi’s sensitive story is illustrated by Ram Soni through sanjhi, the art of paper cutting.
Suggested age, readers, English difficulty and US school grade are separate labels. Age groups are guidance based on source information or editorial review; unreviewed books are “Not assessed”. A US grade is assigned only with source information or a documented assessment; otherwise it is “Not assessed”. Levels use A1–C2 to indicate reading difficulty. StoryWeaver levels 1/2/3/4 use our approximate A1/A2/B1/B2 guide, labelled “estimated”; this is not an official equivalence. A book-specific assessment takes priority. Other unassessed books are labelled “Not assessed”. Source StoryWeaver levels are retained separately. Classics retain their original English.
