What's your name? Maybe you'll find it in this effervescent picture book-an ode to an important part of each of us from the creator of The Favorite Book.
Everyone has one . . .
or maybe a few.
So what's in a name?
What does it do?
Names hold power. They can be a greeting, provide comfort, act as a warning, or honor our ancestors and heroes. Sometimes growing into a name, or selecting a new one, can take a little time. Names connect us to others and help create who we are and what makes us uniquely special. With an engaging visual narrative buzzing with people and names of all stripes, and a lilting text that's perfect for reading aloud, the creator of The Favorite Book and Do You Believe in Unicorns? offers a celebratory and affirming story that will have readers reflecting on their names-and proudly sharing them.
Bethanie Deeney Murguia is the author-illustrator of I Feel Five!, The Best Parts of Christmas, Do You Believe in Unicorns?, and The Favorite Book, among many others. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
