Alma and How She Got Her Name
by Jauna Martinez Neal
What's in a name? For one little girl, her very long name tells the vibrant story of where she came from — and who she may one day be.
If you ask her, Alma Sofia Esperanza José 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; José, the grandfather who was an artist; and other namesakes, too. As she hears the story of her name, Alma starts to think it might be a perfect fit after all — and realizes that she will one day have her own story to tell. In her author-illustrator debut, Juana Martinez-Neal opens a treasure box of discovery for children who may be curious about their own origin stories or names.

My name is Juana Carlota Martinez Pizarro. My father named me Juana
after his mother, Juana Francisca. My mother chose the name Carla to honor
the memory of her uncle, Carlos. My father was a man of decisions, so when
it was time to register my birth, he changed Carla to Carlota on the birth
certificate. He was convinced that Juana Carlota was the mighty name he
wanted for his daughter. Thanks to that change, I got
stuck with what I thought was the most old-fashioned,
harsh, ugly, and way-too-Spanish name in all of Lima,
Peru, where I grew up! Little did I know that later on,
after I moved to the United States, it would feel unique
and remind me every day of where I come from.
