1st. ed.
Description:
1 v. (unpaged) : col. ill. ; 25 cm.
Summary:
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 one day be. If you ask her,
Alma
Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela has way too many names: six! Just think of
how
hard it is to fit them all on the back of a little photo.
How
did such a small person wind up with such a 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 travel; José, the grandfather who was an artist; and other namesakes too. As
she
hears the story of her
name
,
Alma
starts to think it might be a perfect fit after all - and realizes that
she
will one day have her own story to tell. In her author-illustrator debut, Juana Martinez-Neal opens a treasure box of discovery for children who may be curious about their own origin or
name
story.
