A Little Bit of Everything (Own Voices, Own Stories)

by Meghana Narayan (Author) Michelle Carlos (Illustrator)

A Little Bit of Everything (Own Voices, Own Stories)
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade

Amaya was born on a winter night--and every experience and memory helps to build her identity. She is a little bit of Mama, whose family is far away in India, and a little bit of Papa, whose mother immigrated from China for a new life. She is a little bit of the salty ocean and a little bit of the rolling storm. A little bit of the stars in the sky, and a little bit of so many other things. When Amaya's new sibling arrives, she knows just what to say about who she is, and what her sister will become.

With stunning, whimsical art, this lyrical book asks readers to celebrate their own uniqueness--and that of others. This is a lullaby to any child who is discovering who they are. Part of the Own Voices, Own Stories collection
