About the Book

"Embarrassed by her long, unusual last name, an 8-year old girl discovers a reason to be proud of her heritage in Pillalamarri's debut children's book. Young readers will delight in Leela...an appealing protagonist who's inquisitive, smart and sensitive. Pillalamarri does a fine job of developing her characters. The lovely illustrations, featuring the spunky, freckled Leela, bring the perfectly chosen scenes to vivid life. The prose is smooth, and the dialogue rings with authenticity throughout. Pillalamarri also includes ideas for lessons on genealogy and etymology, including three worksheets for classroom use. A solid introduction to discovering one's own heritage that also teaches respect for others'." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS, November 2014 Meet Leela. She goes to second grade and has lots of fun hanging out with her three best friends. But there's a big problem. It's her last name. It's really long, hard to say and just plain weird! Well, at least that's what Leela thinks - until she encounters a few amazing people, has a few interesting adventures and obtains some mysterious objects that reveal the history and meaning behind names. Now Leela is curious about her own. Will she ever come to like her last name? And, more importantly, will she learn its true meaning in time for the school's annual talent show?! DETAILED DESCRIPTION Have you ever come across a long or difficult-to-pronounce name? Maybe your own or a friend's? Do you know where names come from and what they mean?
