Beskrivning
For one Armenian child, birthdays are a time for decorating the house with bunches of rose and mint and sumac, for eating beef dumplings with garlic yoghurt, and for baking cakes with family and friends. But birthdays are also a time for telling stories – stories of ancestors and homelands, of births and new beginnings, and of the land their family now calls home. For stories make up who we are, and the more stories that are told, the brighter this little child shines.A magical tale about finding yourself in the stories of your ancestors and keeping their memories alive.

STARRED REVIEW "An Armenian child of refugees muses on ancestral stories as vehicles of connection and identity in this moving picture book. Though far from the places her ancestors called home, she embraces the traditions they passed down to her, such as traditional birthday dishes and dried herbs and flowers for decor. As her mother helps her read a birthday card from her grandmother—written in Armenian—the little girl comes to see the stories of her family in a whole new light." - Foreword Reviews
