MY NAME IS WAKAWAKALOCH
Written by Chana Stiefel
Illustrated by Mary Sullivan
Published by HMH Books for Young Readers (August 27, 2019)
Here’s a bit about the book:
No one can pronounce Wakawakaloch’s name. Why couldn’t she be called something simple . . . like Gloop? That’s a name you can find on a T-shirt! But after a visit with her village’s elder, Wakawakaloch discovers what her name means, and how powerful names can be. Gloop may be easy to say, but the girl who helps her friends embrace differences and wear their names proudly? Her name is Wakawakaloch!
