Description

What’s in a name? For one little girl, her very long name tells the vibrant story of where she came from — and who she may at some point be.

If you ask her, Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela has way too many names: six! How did one of these small person wind up with one of these large name? Alma turns to Daddy for an answer and learns of Sofia, the grandmother who loved books and flowers; Esperanza, the great-grandmother who longed to commute; José, the grandfather who was once an artist; and other namesakes, too. As she hears the story of her name, Alma starts to think it could be a great fit in spite of everything — and realizes that she will at some point have her own story to tell. In her creator-illustrator debut, Juana Martinez-Neal opens a treasure box of discovery for children who is also curious about their very own origin stories or names.
