Description
Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela has six names. Her parents explain that each name is connected to someone special in her family's past. The story begins with Alma asking about the origins of her long and lovely name. As she listens, she learns about her grandmother Sofia, who loved books and flowers; her great-grandmother Esperanza, who dreamed of traveling; and her grandfather José, an artist. These stories help Alma understand that each name is a part of something bigger than herself. In this charming debut, author-illustrator Juana Martinez-Neal invites readers to explore the meaning behind their own names and discover the stories that make them unique.
