Description
Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela has six names. How did such a small person wind up with so many? Alma turns to her Daddy for an answer, and he tells her the story of each name: Sofia, who loved books and flowers; Esperanza, who longed to travel; José, who was an artist; and others too. As Alma hears these stories, she starts to think that her big name might be just right after all. She realizes that one day she'll have a story of her own to tell. This beautifully illustrated book is a treasure trove of discovery for children curious about their own names and origins. In this tender story, author Juana Martinez-Neal opens a box of surprises, inviting young readers to explore the meaning behind their own names.
