A girl listens as her parents tell the stories that made her family. On one side is a Jewish grandmother in Brooklyn who sewed shining wedding dresses. On the other is a South Asian grandmother in Pakistan who cooked bubbling dal on a coal stove. Each story adds another piece to who she is. Sometimes she wonders if she is the only one like herself. Is she Jewish enough? South Asian enough? When she notices a butterfly, she begins to see that being different can also mean being beautifully whole. Many Things At Once is a tender picture book about mixed heritage, family history, belonging, and the many feelings that can live inside one person. It speaks gently to children who are learning that identity does not have to fit into just one box.
