Share the book by inverting it; the author’s note will settle children into a wicked and relevant history lesson. As lyrical as the light verse telling is, children need this context urgently to appreciate the beauty of the message.
A worthy contribution. Pair with Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow’s Your Name Is a Song or Juana Martinez-Neal’s How Alma Got Her Name for a lesson or story time on the beauty and power of names and identity.
This rhythmic picture book articulates a common experience for young children who straddle two cultures. Highly recommended.
A lovely story about change and belonging that provides much-needed representation. A first purchase for all libraries
