Je m'appelle Kikelomo, et je suis chérie!
C'est le premier jour d'école de Kikelomo et elle est très impatiente! Mais au moment où elle dit son prénom à ses camarades de classe, Kikelomo est surprise et attristée de voir les autres enfants se moquer. Ce soir-là, lorsqu'elle rentre à la maison, sa mère et son père lui rappellent qu'ils ont choisi son prénom avec soin et qu'il signifie « un enfant qui est chéri » en yoruba, la langue maternelle de sa mère.
Lorsqu'elle retourne à l'école, le lendemain, elle est impatiente de raconter pourquoi il est important de l'appeler par son prénom et d'expliquer que chacun peut arriver à le prononcer s'il essaie. Ce simple geste incite ses camarades de classe et son enseignant à apprendre et à partager l'histoire de leur prénom.
Joyeuse, puissante et imprégnée d'amour, cette histoire d'affirmation de soi trouvera un écho chez tous les enfants qui ont besoin de défendre leur prénom magnifique.
My name is Kikelomo and I am cherished!
It's Kikelomo's first day of school and she is excited! But when it's time to share in her classroom circle, Kikelomo is surprised and saddened when other children make fun of her name. When Kikelomo comes home that night, her mother and father remind her how carefully they chose her name and that it means "a child who is cherished" in Yoruba, the language of her mother's family. It prompts her to think about all the times she feels cherished and who she is, held inside her loving family.
When Kikelomo returns to school the next day, she can't wait to share why calling her by her name is important, and how everyone can pronounce it if they try. With this simple act, her classmates -- and teacher! -- are all inspired to learn and share the stories of their names too.
Joyful, powerful and infused with love, this proudly affirming story will resonate with every child who needs to stand up for their big, beautiful name, and encourage kids and grownups from all backgrounds to think about their own unique connection to their name.
