Sometimes she doesn't feel Jewish enough or South Asian enough, but comes to realize you can feel--and be--many things at once.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on the author's own family history, here is a moving story about a young girl from two different backgrounds. The girl's mother tells her stories about \u003ci\u003eher \u003c\/i\u003emother, a Jewish seamstress in Brooklyn, New York. She lived in a tiny two-bedroom apartment and sewed wedding dresses shimmering in satin and lace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHer father tells stories of \u003ci\u003ehis\u003c\/i\u003e mother, the girl's other grandmother, who liked to cook bubbling dal on a coal stove in Pakistan. They tell stories about how both sides came to America, and how, eventually, her parents met on a warm summer evening in Poughkeepsie. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe girl sometimes feels as if she's the \"only one like me.\" One day, when she spots a butterfly in her yard, she realizes it's okay to be different--no two butterflies are alike, after all.

It's okay to feel-- and be-- many things at once.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veera Hiranandani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593643917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593643914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Studio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Veera Hiranandani","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":45981060202751,"sku":"9780593643914","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5066fdb4-0ecb-407f-9a41-c71cfa0adde6.jpg?v=1722417618","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/many-things-at-once-veera-hiranandani-9780593643914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
