Always Anjali by Sheetal Sheth

4.0

When Anjali can't find a name item with her name, but her friends can easily find theirs, and she gets made fun of by another classmate for her name, she is determined to change it. Something many will be able to relate to! When her mother explains the meaning behind her name and how she and her father chose it, Anjali finds a way to celebrate it. Bright, cheerful illustrations throughout this story, with Indian elements and motifs included, make this a fun book to share. I especially appreciate having positive representation of a family from Indian culture to include in my library collection, in a story that will engage kids. A perfect pairing for [b:Alma and How She Got Her Name|28234753|Alma and How She Got Her Name|Juana Martinez-Neal|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1513197112s/28234753.jpg|48265768].
