Your name means you're different Your name means you're you When an Indian American boy starts school in a new classroom, one child can't pronounce his name properly, which leads to giggles amongst his classmates.

With lush illustrations by Sandhya Prabhat, award-winning author Supriya Kelkar writes a stunning tribute to the word that identifies each of us the very most -- our name, reminding readers of the beauty in celebrating difference, taking pride in uniqueness, and helping others to do the same.
