My Name Is Maria Isabel

For Maria Isabel Salazar Lopez, the hardest thing about being the new girl in school is that the teacher doesn't call her by her real name. "We already have two Mari­as in this class," says her teacher. "Why don't we call you Mary instead?" But Mari­a Isabel has been named for her Papa's mother and for Chabela, her beloved Puerto Rican grandmother. Can she find a way to make her teacher see that if she loses her name, she's lost the most important part of herself?

Fortunately, when the class gets an assignment to write a paper about their greatest wish, Maria finds the words to tell her teacher — and the class — how special her name is. Accented with occasional black and white illustrations, this is a powerful story of pride in your identity.

Spanish-speaking Mighty Girls can read the Spanish-language version of the book, Me llamo Maria Isabel.
