(Kamal is a young Sikh girl wearing a yellow sleeveless dress with flowers in her braids). Leafy plants and flowers fill the bottom of the cover. Written and illustrated by Baljinder Kaur.

  • Page spread from Kamal's Kes. On left side you see the face of a south-asian girl with eyes wide and a golden hair comb on the right side of her hair. Leaves swirl above her face. Text reads: One evening, as Kamal combed her keys, she noticed a shadow above her lips. The next morning, the shadow had grown darker, and soon, she found it growing in all sorts of new places. On the spread to the right, the top image shows Kamal wrapped in her long black hair, her left arm raised and looking at her hairy armpit. The image below shows a spot illustration of her hairy legs with her feet curled across each other. A swirl of long black hair continues to the next page.
  • book cover shows a parmigiano reggiano cheese wheel in the centre with a label on the top showing the title We Are Cheesemakers in copper foil across the middle and an image of a sister holding up a pair of binoculars with one hand and a madaanī spoon in the other, stirring the milky waves below. Her brother wearing a blue dastaar is leaning over the edge with a spino, both covered in a dhurrie (traditional blanket) and sat in a 'tug boat' or traditional indian copper serving dish (mirroring the copper vats used for boiling milk). The background is a traditional phulkari pattern in muted yellows and browns.
