Laxmi's Mooch by Shelly Anand

After being teased about her moustache, a young Indian American girl embarks on a journey to accept her body hair and celebrate her heritage. Laxmi was unconcerned about the tiny hairs above her lip.

She begins to notice body hair all over her body, including her arms, legs, and even between her brows.
