Pre Order: I Want A Nickname

The language is simple so young readers can follow and work on their reading skills. The illustrations are bright, bold, colorful, and full of life, sometimes pensive and, at other times, full of energy. This is a very empowering story that will inspire young readers to be comfortable with their self-identity, which includes their name. – Emily-Jane Hills Orford, Readers’ Favorite
