Names as a starting point for inclusion

Huda Essa’s picture book uses names and the stories connected to them to open conversations about identity and respect. Its subject reaches beyond learning how to say a name: the description points to cultural norms, language, and unconscious bias as topics children can explore through shared discussion. The book frames pride in one’s own identities alongside curiosity about other people’s experiences, making names a concrete way to consider diversity and inclusion. The publisher also notes that free companion resources are available from the author’s website.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children exploring identity, names, and cultural diversity with an adult or group.
  • Families and educators seeking a starting point for conversations about respect, language, and inclusion.

Book overview

Embracing the diversity of our names is one of the first steps we can take to show our appreciation of diversity and inclusion. Everyone has a name and every name has a story. Teach Us Your Name focuses on the many stories and ways we can all connect by helping children take pride in their many identities and to utilize the opportunity to learn from others. This book lends itself to countless invaluable discussions about cultural norms, languages, unconscious bias, and much more. Most of all, Teach Us Your Name is focused on showing respect for ourselves and all others. The author has a TED Talk that further explains the value of this topic as it applies to adults and older children, as well. Find it on YouTube: "Your Name is the Key!" There are also several free resources to use alongside the book at the author's website on culturelinksllc.com
