Summary: “For one Armenian child, birthdays are days for decorating the house with bunches of rose and mint and sumac, for eating beef dumplings with garlic yogurt, 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.”
