From Grammy Award-winning singer Ashanti comes an empowering story about a girl who learns to love her unique name.

First days aren’t easy for a girl with a name like Ashanti. It feels like no one can pronounce it correctly! But with some encouragement from her mum, Ashanti spells her name and learns just how special it is.

A is for awesome, S is for sunsets, H is for hand games, A is for art...

Inspired by Ashanti’s own experience, this delightful picture book shares the joy that one child finds in her name.

A perfect pick for classrooms and all story times!
