The Brighter I Shine

On their birthday, an Armenian child listens to their mother tell stories – stories of ancestors and homelands, of births and new beginnings, and of the land they now call home.

For one Armenian child, birthdays are a time for decorating the house with bunches of rose and mint and sumac, for eating beef dumplings with garlic yoghurt, and for baking cakes with family and friends. But birthdays are also a time for telling stories – stories of ancestors and homelands, of births and new beginnings, and of the land their family now calls home. For stories make up who we are, and the more stories that are told, the brighter this little child shines.

A magical tale about finding yourself in the stories of your ancestors and keeping their memories alive.
