Praise
As narrated in jaunty verse and clarified through speech bubbles, this spirited offering invites children to discover, ponder, and discuss fascinating things about names. . . Grown-ups should absolutely encourage lively post-reading discussion with kids—and note the characters’ final question (“what’s yours?”); response guaranteed! . . . What’s a name for this richly satisfying book? Winner.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Deeney Murguia explores the utility of names in this picture book of appellative connection. . . . As the pages turn, prose touches on how names (printed in red text throughout) can be used in different scenarios, signify important ties, and even evolve over time. It’s a moving exploration of what names can be and do—one that ends with an open invitation: ‘What’s yours?’
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
There may be no word more special than your own name, and this poetic discussion of what’s in a name welcomes readers to enjoy their names and the reasons behind them.
