MY NAME IS AN ADDRESS

Nonfiction Picture Book
Reading age: 8 years and up
Grade level: 3 and up

Description:

You are not lost! You are not alone! A GPS system navigates you to where you are going, but your name could lead to what you are looking for. What's in a name? Ekuwah Mends uses the alphabet letters to answer that question. She opens a window into her family, history, culture, language, geography, and more. Look through Ekuwah's actual family photos, Mother's artwork, and Father's artifact collection. My Name is an Address comes to life and touches your heart. Exit the story by finding your own Akan name. Also, return when you need to feel connected. Ultimately, be inspired to find your own address.

I have been following the construction of this rural school library in Ghana via YouTube. It is located near my father’s hometown. I was overjoyed to be able to visit and give donations this summer. Please watch and share the video!

Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond and I had a blast presenting our respective books  in a virtual read aloud and author chat across two sessions with over fifty participants representing classrooms, school libraries, and youth advocacy centers!
