Your Name Is a Song

Description

When a little girl is saddened by her classmates’ and teacher’s mispronunciations of her name, she begins a journey to learn about the musicality of African, Asian, Black-American, Latinx, and Middle Eastern names. Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow’s inclusive book offers a fresh way to look at the tradition of creating new names. Featuring beautiful illustrations by Luisa Uribe, students of all backgrounds will love this delightful celebration of culture.
