"In moving, lyrical prose, the book celebrates the beauty and
sounds of each name alongside their culture of origin. The author
builds a strong case that everyone should embrace their names and
honor and learn those with which they may not be familiar."
—Kirkus (starred review) "A moving title that honors its readers
and encourages them to feel confident in their cultural
identities."—School and Library Journal New York Times
bestselling author Joanna Ho, of Eyes that Kiss in the Corners,
creates a meaningful and diverse picture book about how names
define us. Names reveal generational ties and histories, weaving an
intricate tale of the past. Names—and correctly saying them—are
important. Each one carries the hopes, dreams, and traditions of
those that came before us. Six captivating kids connect with the
reader, proudly celebrating their names, backgrounds, and
ancestors: Hé Xiao-Guang from China Ofa Kivaha Tupoumalohi from
the South Pacific Bijan Hosseini from Iran Nizhoni Yazzie, who is
Navajo Xóchitl Luna from Mexico Akosua Acheampong from Ghana
Joanna Ho’s lyrical story explains how saying a person’s name
is the only way we can truly know another.
