Say My Name

New York Times bestselling author Joanna Ho, of Eyes that Kiss in the Corners, creates a meaningful and diverse picture book about how names define us.

Names reveal generational ties and histories, weaving an intricate tale of the past. Names - and correctly saying them - are important. Each one carries the hopes, dreams, and traditions of those that came before us.

Six captivating kids connect with the reader, proudly celebrating their names, backgrounds, and ancestors:

• Hé Xiao-Guang from China
• Ofa Kivaha Tupoumalohi from the South Pacific
• Bijan Hosseini from Iran
• Nizhoni Yazzie, who is Navajo
• Xóchitl Luna from Mexico
• Akosua Acheampong from Ghana

Joanna Ho's lyrical story explains how saying a person's name is the only way we can truly know another.
