This is the story of Alma Sofia Esperanza Jose Pura Candela and her wonderings about how she got her name. It is a beautiful story about the meaning that our names hold and the richness of being given a family name. Learning about where your name came from helps to inspire a reflection of how we view ourselves and the stories our names hold. This story is beautifully written and illustrated by the author. 

This is Juana Martinez-Neal's author-illustrator debut book.
