Add a CommentA sweet tale about how your name is unique and how names can be sung because they have power in them. They have zing!
I liked it and it was good.
When a little girl is sad that no one in her class can pronounce her name, her mother teaches her that her name is a song. The mother shows her that the names from Asia, Africa, Latinx, and African-American cultures are beautiful. When the girl goes back to school the next day, she teaches her entire class that each one of their names is a song.
This is an incredibly beautiful book about the importance of names and learning to pronounce them with respect for the person and their culture.
A wonderful way to teach kids how to pronounce names from different parts of the world.
A great book to share with a classroom of new kids.
