This book is about a little girl who is starting her first day at a new school. She loves her name and is very proud of its orgins, but her teacher decides to begin calling Mary Lopez instead. Throughout the book is seems like Maria Isabela starts to lose some of her self-confidence with the loss of her orginal name. In the end when the class is asked to write about what they want for Christmas, Maria Isabel writes that she wants to be in the school play and to be called by her real name, Maria Isabel Salazar Lopez.
I think that this would be a great book to have one of my classes in the future read. After reading this book students could then find the orgins of their name through a name book or by asking their parents.
