Description:

On the day she is born, Sitara is given the very first present she will ever receive — her name, whispered to her by her parents and wrapped in their love. But as she grows, she finds that not everyone takes care to say it properly; people stumble over the sounds until it no longer feels like hers. So Sitara learns the history, tradition and culture woven into her name, and with that knowledge comes the confidence to gently help others get it right. Told in Zeshan Akhter's warm, lyrical voice and softly illustrated, this is a heartfelt celebration of the names we carry and the families and heritage they connect us to. It also quietly teaches an everyday kindness: that making the effort to say a name correctly, or simply asking, matters more than we think
