Yoto Says: As Daddy tells the story of her name, Alma starts to think it might be a perfect fit for her after all.

If you ask her, Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela has way too many names: six! How did such a small person wind up with such a large name?

Alma turns to Daddy for an answer and learns of Sofia, the grandmother who loved books and flowers; Esperanza, the great-grandmother who longed to travel; José, the grandfather who was an artist; and other namesakes too. As she hears the story of her name, Alma starts to think it might be a perfect fit after all—and realizes that she will one day have her own story to tell.

Through Alma’s vibrant story, Juana Martinez-Neal opens a treasure box of discovery for children who may be curious about their own origin stories or names.

The way the story explores each part of Alma's name kept my son engaged the whole time. I love how it turns a simple name into a meaningful family history lesson.

My four-year-old asks for this story every night now, and I love how the gentle narration helps her understand her own long name. The way each part of Alma’s name unfolds keeps her completely engaged.

The way Alma’s dad explains each part of her long name makes this such a sweet bedtime listen — my kid asks for it every night now.
