      About This Book

      In this sweeping picture book, an Indian girl discovers the power of her name as she travels along the river she was named after.

      What's so special about your name?

      Kaveri Thanjavur Jayalakshmi Ganesan doesn't think there is anything special about her very long name—in fact, she would prefer to be called "Kav." But Paati reminds Kaveri that her name was inspired by her family's heritage, where she was born, and the powerful river they journey across for the Pushkaram Festival. Along the way, Kaveri's eyes and heart are opened to the beauty and magic her name holds.

      Through Suma Subramaniam's lyrical and tender writing and Tara Anand's radiant illustrations, My Name Is Long as a River offers messages of cultural pride, self-confidence, and empowerment.
