"No one can pronounce Wakawakaloch's name. Why couldn't she be called something simple...like Gloop? That's a name you can find on a T-shirt! 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!" --from the publisher
Another picture book that is just okay for me. I found it pretty strange, like the author was trying to be funny but didn't quite pull it off. (The characters are supposed to be Neanderthals, but there are modern items sprinkled throughout.) And if Wakawakaloch knows what a T-shirt is, then why don't her parents? Am I just being cranky?
