Your Name is a Song by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow (Hardcover)
Your Name is a Song by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow discusses the power and purpose of names. When the main character’s name is mispronounced by her teacher, she wishes her name was easier to pronounce. Hearing this sentiment, the mother begins to teach her daughter the beauty and intention of names. She does the aforementioned through the powerful tool of song. At the end of the singing journey, the little girl has the confidence and deep understanding of the importance of her name. The next day the girl goes to school and teaches her teacher that her name and all other students names are songs too.
The colorful illustrations capture the seriousness and joy of the topic while also showing a powerful mother-daughter bond. I especially love how the illustrator’s images and author’s words use the community as the classroom to teach the girl about names.
For parents, this is a powerful tool to reinforce the beauty and meaning of your child’s name. For educators, this book shows the impact and internal struggle kids endure when their name is mispronounced.
