Rather than chastise her son, she agrees to it, and teaches him about its cultural significance, allowing the boy to discover the magic of the bindi, which in turn gives him permission to be more fully himself.</p> <p>Beautifully illustrated by Rajni Perera, <i>The Boy &amp; the Bindi</i> is a joyful celebration of gender and cultural difference.</p> <p><b>Vivek Shraya</b> is a writer, musician, performer, and filmmaker.
