Kidlit Love: Conversations with Picture Book, Middle Grade and YA Authors

E31: Suma Subramaniam and Tara Anand: My Name is as Long as a River


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m talking with Suma Subramaniam and Tara Anand, the author and illustrator team that came together to create My Name is as Long as a River.

It’s a stunning picture book celebrating the power of names, the history behind them and why they matter to who we are. 

Come listen as we talk about Suma’s inspiration for the book, how Tara brought the story to life in the most stunning ways and how readers might use the book as a way to connect and reconnect with their names, too. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here.
