Alma and How She Got Her Name by Juana Martinez-Neal
5.0
This book, Alma and How She Got Her Name, is a great way to discuss reverence for ancestors.
Alma thinks she has too many names. It's too long and her name won't fit on the page. Alma's father takes her on an imagined journey through time to introduce her to her elders through story and memory. She learns about the things that make her ancestors special and all the ways in which they are similar. When Alma learns about the people she inherited her names from, she learns to take pride in it.
A sweet book that will spark your own discussions of beloved ancestors. Filled with soft pencil illustrations and beautifully written pages. I love this book. It is just so precious!
