The children’s book, I Am More Than My Name by Dr. Kamshia Childs, is a poetic tribute to having a unique or unusual name (in sound or spelling). From facing stereotypes and being misunderstood, to lacking self-esteem to pursue dreams due to underrepresentation, this book—narrated with the use of various diverse characters—centers on empowerment and pursuing hopes and future goals. Illustrated with vibrant textures, colors, and geometric shapes, using the eclectic style of artist Brionya James, I Am More Than My Name paints a beautiful journey of claiming ownership of one’s given name—and finding pride in its uniqueness.
