Zusammenfassung:"My name is Kikelomo and I am cherished! It's Kikelomo's first day of school and she is excited... and a little nervous too. But when it's time to share names in circle, Kikelomo is taken aback by the other children's cruelty about hers. When Kikelomo comes home that night, her mother and father remind her how carefully they chose her name and what it means. Kikelomo remembers that her name means "a child who is cherished" in Yoruba, the language of her mother's side of the family. It prompts her to think about all the times she feels cherished and who she is, held inside her loving Mohawk Nigerian Canadian family. When Kikelomo returns to school the next day, she can't wait to share why calling her by her name is important, because it reminds her who she is, and how everyone can pronounce it if they try. By the next day, all the children are sharing the stories of their names in a way that shows their own special connections to family and themselves. As Kikelomo says at the end of the story: "And now I will never forget... My name is Kikelomo, and I am cherished.""--
