My BIG Name

More about the book

A book about a little girl who has an 'unusual' name - unusual in that it is not a name that is easily recognized in the country in which she lives, and goes to school. The teacher of her class is an English speaker - and would prefer to use an recognizable English name.But Isenguye resists the move to shorten her name to Izzy. Her name has a meaning. And it is a name which shapes her, and will continue to define her as a person. Isenguye means "God did that" or "It is still Him".This book underlines why it is important to stand one's ground, in order to retain an identity.
