"A beautifully illustrated, tender story to be shared with all children, sure to evoke conversations about their names." -- School Library Journal (starred review) If you ask her, Alma Sofia Esperanza Jos??? Pura Candela has way too many names: six! How did such a small person wind up with such a large name? Alma turns to Daddy for an answer and learns of Sofia, the grandmother who loved books and flowers; Esperanza, the great-grandmother who longed to travel; Jos???, the grandfather who was an artist; and other namesakes, too.

In her 2019 Caldecott Honor Book, Juana Martinez-Neal opens a treasure box of discovery for children who may be curious about their own origin stories or names.
