The Change Your Name Store

Who am I? It's a question a lot of children seem to ask themselves, at which point being &quot;them&quot; simply isn't enough. They want to be someone better. Many kids want to change their names. This is what happened to Wilma Lee Wu. One day, Wilma decides she no longer likes her name, and she sets off for the Change Your Name Store to find a new one. Once at the store, the possibilities seem endless. Mrs. Zeena McFooz, the store-owner, says that Wilma can try out any new name she wants with one catch: she must &quot;go for a ride&quot; to discover what it means to be that name. Will being Babette Bijou from France be better than Wilma Lee Wu? What about Dominga Delfino from Belize?<br><br>Featuring an exciting story of discovery from author and humor blogger Leanne Shirtliffe (of IronicMom.com) , and fun, simple illustrations by Tina Kügler, <i>The Change Your Name Store</i> takes children on a journey to find their true identity and to celebrate who they are - name and all. Children ages 3 to 6 will be able to relate to Wilma's search for who she really is. The book promotes diversity, which is an important topic to kids to understand at an early age, and will be a good addition to preschool classrooms and urban homes in particular. Zeena McFooz is gentle and matter-of-fact, and the tone of the book is one of exploration and celebration of our individuality. The illustrations are sure to captivate kids' attention while helping to bring this important message to life. <br>
