Reha feels torn between two worlds: school, where she’s the only Indian American student, and home, with her family’s traditions and holidays. But Reha’s parents don’t understand why she’s conflicted - they only notice when Reha doesn’t meet their strict expectations. Reha feels disconnected from her mother, or Amma, although their names are linked - Reha means “star” and Punam means “moon” - but they are a universe apart. Then Reha finds out that her Amma is sick.

Red Shoes with White Squiggles is a rhyming children's book about a family of five mice. The author Carol Pavelin was inspired to write the book after seeing some of the character mice painted by her sister Stephanie Conroy. The locations in the book are loosely based on the sisters' happy memories of growing up on Woodhill Road in Portishead, England.
