This is a fun story about a girl named Azar, who has damaged vocal chords from cholic-related screaming as a baby, but who loves music and dreams of singing. She's half Italian, a quarter Argentinean, and a quarter Iranian, and all of her cultures are shown love and respect in this story, as well as illustrating where she doesn't feel quite "enough." Although this is a companion to "Perfectly Parvin", this is fully enjoyable on its own without knowing anything else.
