She begins to understand there’s more to a name than just something to call yourself. There’s power, love, and real meaning wrapped up in every person’s name.
Kaveri Thanjavur Jayalakshmi Ganesan doesn't think there is anything special about her very long name - in fact, she would prefer to be called "Kav."

Through Suma Subramaniam's lyrical and tender writing and Tara Anand's radiant illustrations, My Name Is Long as a River offers messages of cultural pride,…
