A confidence-inspiring tale that affirms the wonder of every child's name.
A young girl questions whether her name is all that special. She wonders, "Is it just too different and difficult to say?" Curled up on the couch next to her mom, she asks, "What's in a name anyway?" In response, her mom sings lovingly about her name's sweet melody, reminds her of its ties to her family's history, and enthralls her with the unfolding mystery of everything her name gives her the space to be. Inspired, this little girl moves from wondering whether her name is special enough to celebrating the wonder of her name.
