Beskrivning
What’s so special about your name?Kaveri Thanjavur Jayalakshmi Ganesan doesn’t think there is anything special about her very long name - in fact, she would prefer to be called “Kav.” But Paati reminds Kaveri that her name was inspired by her family’s heritage, where she was born, and the powerful river they journey across for the Pushkaram Festival. Along the way, Kaveri’s eyes and heart are opened to the beauty and magic her name holds.Through Suma Subramaniam’s lyrical and tender writing and Tara Anand’s radiant illustrations, My Name Is Long as a River offers messages of cultural pride, self-confidence, and empowerment.

Recensioner i media

An ILA Notable Children's Book for a Global Society"Unlike other stories about names, this book is refreshingly free of tropes like low self-esteem and bullying. Kaveri, surrounded by a loving family and closely connected to her community, has a journey of empowerment through knowing. Vibrant illustrations provide visual context and make this title specifically South Indian, though it's universal in theme." —Booklist
