- Synopsis
- In this sweeping picture book, an Indian girl discovers the power of her name as she travels along the river she was named after.What&’s so special about your name? Kaveri Thanjavur Jayalakshmi Ganesan doesn&’t think there is anything special about her very long name—in fact, she would prefer to be called &“Kav.&” But Paati reminds Kaveri that her name was inspired by her family&’s heritage, where she was born, and the powerful river they journey across for the Pushkaram Festival. Along the way, Kaveri&’s eyes and heart are opened to the beauty and magic her name holds.Through Suma Subramaniam&’s lyrical and tender writing and Tara Anand&’s radiant illustrations, My Name Is Long as a River offers messages of cultural pride, self-confidence, and empowerment.
