Publisher's summary
“Am I pretty, Mommy?"
When Maryam asks her mom if she’s pretty, Sairah sees it as a chance to talk to her daughter about beauty standards, gender roles, and the importance of being true to ourselves. Together, they explore what it means to be kind and how we can all come together by being mindful of others and embracing our inner beauty.
In today’s world, we are surrounded every day by images, language, and attitudes that tell us we must look a certain way in order to have value. Am I Pretty? Asked Maryam aims to break down these messages and give children the confidence to be happy in themselves by encouraging philosophical discussion of these issues.

Story
Franciszka and her daughter, Helena, are simple, ordinary people until 1939, when the Nazis invade their homeland. Providing shelter to Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland is a death sentence, but Franciszka and Helena do exactly that. In their tiny home in Sokal, they hide a Jewish family in a loft above their pigsty, a Jewish doctor with his wife and son in a makeshift cellar under the kitchen, and a defecting German soldier in the attic - each party completely unknown to the others.
