"A young boy becomes fascinated with his mother's bindi, and asks her to explain what it is and why she wears it.

When he wishes to have one of his own, 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." --
