Kantiga Finds The Perfect Name

“𝗞𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲” is a gorgeous picture book from South Africa that draws upon folklore, the story behind our names and our heritage, making it an attractive read-aloud for initiating a discussion on name identity.

Kantiga did not like her name, not just because her friends could not pronounce it properly but also because she felt it sounded heavy. She wanted to be called ‘Candy’ instead. Kantiga shares her feelings about her name with Gogo, her grandmother. Gogo tells Kantiga a beautiful story about her own grandma, her Anganga, leading up to why they named her Kantiga.

A must-add to your book collection on name identity!
