"Glorious." --Kirkus Reviews
A colorful journey of self-discovery and identity, this sweet, vibrant
picture book follows young Leila as she visits her grandmother's house
for their weekly family dinner, and finds parts of herself and her
heritage in the family, friends, and art around her.
Sometimes I'm not sure if I like being me.
When Leila looks in the mirror, she doesn't know if she likes what she
sees. But when her grandmother tells her the saffron beads on her scarf
suit her, she feels a tiny bit better. So, Leila spends the rest of
their family dinner night on the lookout for other parts of her she does
like.
Follow Leila's journey as she uses her senses of sight, smell, taste,
touch to seek out the characteristics that make up her unique identity,
and finds reasons to feel proud of herself, just as she is.
