In this poignant picture book about family and belonging, the child of a Jewish mother and a South Asian father hears stories about her family history. Sometimes she doesn´t feel Jewish enough or South Asian enough, but comes to realize you can feel--and be--many things at once. Based on the author´s own family history, here is a moving story about a young girl from two different backgrounds. The girl´s mother tells her stories about her mother, a Jewish seamstress in Brooklyn, New York. She lived in a tiny two-bedroom apartment and sewed wedding dresses shimmering in satin and lace. Her father tells stories of his mother, the girl´s other grandmother, who liked to cook bubbling dal on a coal stove in Pakistan. They tell stories about how both sides came to America, and how, eventually, her parents met on a warm summer evening in Poughkeepsie. The girl sometimes feels as if she´s the "only one like me." One day, when she spots a butterfly in her yard, she realizes it´s okay to be different-no two butterflies are alike, after all. It´s okay to feel alone sometimes, but also happy and proud. It´s okay to feel-- and be-- many things at once.
