My Name Is Long as a River

Whats so special about your name? Kaveri Thanjavur Jayalakshmi Ganesan doesnt think there is anything special about her very long name - in fact, she would prefer to be called Kav. But Paati reminds Kaveri that her name was inspired by her familys heritage, where she was born, and the powerful river they journey across for the Pushkaram Festival. Along the way, Kaveris eyes and heart are opened to the beauty and magic her name holds. Through Suma Subramaniams lyrical and tender writing and Tara Anands radiant illustrations, My Name Is Long as a River offers messages of cultural pride, self-confidence, and empowerment.
