3 ⭐ This book is about being yourself and how there is no one exactly like you. Each page takes a concept and talks about how you as a human match that concept whether it‘s being animal whether it‘s being water whether it‘s being unique and different. All in all the book and has to match.

Award winning- Alma and How She Got Her Name is a story about a girl who journeys to understand and love her name. This is a Caldecott winner from 2019. The pictures in this book are done by pencil, there is a fair amount of detail but the pictures themself feel softy and homelike. At the start of the book Alma is ashamed of how long her name is and then as her dad is telling her the history behind each name, she quickly becomes proud.
