But after a visit with her tribe's elder, Wakawakaloch discovers what her name means, and how powerful names can be. Gloop may be easy to say, but the girl who helps her friends embrace differences and wear their names proudly? Her name is Wakawakaloch!
This lighthearted picture book, perfect for fans of Vera Brosgol and Emily Hughes, features an intrepid, determined, and savvy girl who learns to embrace what makes her special while lifting up her Neanderthal community.

This kid-friendly message about acceptance and pride is sure to get kids talking about their own unique features!
