Say my name

This title 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: H Xiao-Guang from China; Ofa Kivaha Tupoumalohi from the South Pacific; Bijan Hosseini from Iran; Nizhoni Yazzie, who is Navajo; Xchitl 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.
