Nice book

Lovely book! Our daughter's name is Aviva's, too!

This is a touching tale that will let young children know just how special they are ...

Aviva had a perfectly nice name, but no one ever seemed to use it, like ever. âBye, Amoeba!â Danny yelled to her as he ran by. No, she certainly wasnât an amoeba and then there was Josette. âAur revoir, Viva La France,â she yelled out to Aviva as she passed by. Certainly her name wasnât Viva La France and no she didnât look like one. No one would bother her if she climbed the monkey bars and hung upside down and so Aviva did just that. Later she sat on the swing waiting for Mommy and Lulu, her dog, to show up.

âReady to go, Aviva?â Mommy asked as she stroked her cheek. Aviva put her on ignore too because she didnât want to be an amoeba, a Viva La France, or an Aviva for that matter. âMy name isnât Aviva,â she told her Mommy. âMy name is Emilyâ and so it was. Emily and Mommy walked up the street, scattering the fallen leaves and glancing in the shop windows as they walked hand-in-hand. Why on earth did Mommy and Daddy name her Aviva anyway? Mommy didnât answer right away, but then began to talk to Emily once they got home.

Chop, chop, chop! Mommy was making some soup and there were carrots and celery to go into the pot. âDo you know who taught me to make soup, Emily?â Of course it was Grandma Ada! Emily lost a button on her pink sweater and while the soup was simmering on the stove, Mommy began to sew. âDo you know who taught me to sew?â Mommy asked Emily. Of course it was Grandma Ada! Mommy began to tell Emily all about Grandma Ada and how she worked in a factory when she was only ten. Grandma Adaâs âstitches were as fine as spider webs,â but what did that have to do with her name?

This is a delightfully charming tale about Aviva, a little girl who hated her name. Many children donât like their names for one reason or another, sometimes because other people tease them. Aviva didnât realize just how special her name was until Mommy told her all the wonderful things about Grandma Ada, her namesake. The tale is very special, poignant and perfect for a little one who doesnât like their name or something else about themselves. Rather than dismiss Aviva and her request to be called âEmily,â her mother allows her the freedom to do so. The artwork is beautiful and meshes perfectly with the tale. This is a touching tale that will let young children know just how special they are.
