Alma and How She Got Her Name
Juana Martinez-Neal
Alma believes that her long name contains far too many parts, so she asks her father why she was given them. He explains the relatives each name honors, including a grandmother who loved books and flowers, a great-grandmother who wanted to travel, and a grandfather who was an artist. As Alma hears these family stories, her name becomes a link to the people, talents, hopes, and history carried by her family.
