Description

Our Favorite Day of the Year meets Alma and How She Got Her Name in this warm, lyrical picture book about a child who learns to celebrate her multicultural identity and finds pride in all the stories and worlds that live inside of her. When it's Multicultural Day at school, a young girl wonders how best to tell the story of who she is. With marigolds, mangoes, and stories of India? Fairy tales, cuckoo clocks, and German tales? Or cheeseburgers, superheroes, and American traditions? When choosing only one doesn't feel quite right, she realizes that stories from all three places make her who she is. With whole worlds inside her, she doesn't have to choose just one-she can be all three.
