My Name Is Aviva

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ag Jatkowska. Tired of being called the wrong name by her classmates, Aviva asks her parents to call her Emily. Though they oblige, Aviva's mom tells her about Aviva's courageous and talented great-grandmother, Ada. When Aviva learns she's named after Grandma Ada, she finally feels connected to her name. The gentle if slightly precious text and accompanying watercolors make for a heartfelt story.
