A Little Bit of Everything
by Meghana Narayan
and published by Sleeping Bear Press
Amaya was born on a winter night--and every experience and memory since then has become a part of who she is. She is a little bit of Mama and her Indian heritage and little bit of Papa whose mother left everything she knew in China for a new life. She is a little bit of the salty ocean and a little bit of the rolling storm. And when Amaya meets her new sibling for the first time, she knows just what to tell her. "You have a little bit of Mama in you, a little bit of Papa--and a little bit of me! You are you and nobody else. You are beautiful." With stunning, whimsical art, this book asks readers to celebrate their own uniqueness--and that of others. Part of the Own Voices, Own Stories collection.
