Always Anjali
"Anjali and her friends are excited to get matching personalized license plates for their bikes. But Anjali can't find her name. To make matters worse, she gets bullied for her 'different' name, and is so upset she demands to change it"--Back cover
Meet Anjali! She's the spunky star of this picture book with a timeless message about appreciating what makes us special and honouring our different identities.
Anjali and her friends are excited to buy matching personalised license plates for their bikes— but Anjali can't find a plate with her name. She is often teased about her "different" name, and this is the last straw. Anjali is so upset that she demands her parents let her pick a new name! When they refuse, Anjali decides to take a closer look at who she is— beyond her name— and why being different means being marvellous.
Actress and activist Sheetal Sheth has penned a deeply personal picture book about the experience of feeling othered and the journey toward embracing yourself.
