So what's in a name? What does it do? Names hold power. They can be a greeting, provide comfort, act as a warning, or honor our ancestors and heroes.

With an engaging visual narrative buzzing with people and names of all stripes, and a lilting text that's perfect for reading aloud, the creator of The Favorite Book and Do You Believe in Unicorns? offers a celebratory and affirming story that will have readers reflecting on their names--and proudly sharing them.
