Our Name Is Loved - Hardcover

by Natalie F. Lodato (Author)

Have you ever had a bad day?

One so bad that you yelled at your mom and brother, kicked the dog, and got sent to your room? Everly has.
Everly hates being called names!
When the kids at school make fun of her, Everly comes home upset. In her frustration, she is unkind to her family and herself. Everly doesn't realize that the names we call ourselves matter. After their big fight, it's up to Everly to make things right. She isn't sure how until her mom helps her understand a really big truth: no matter what anyone else calls us, Our Name is Loved.

How do we handle name calling?

(Especially the names we call ourselves?)

This lively and heart warming story tells the tale of a little girl, Everly, who learns that both her loved ones and her enemies have one name: loved. We are never too old or young to learn empathy. We all make mistakes. Whether you have hurt someone or been hurt, are a child or an adult, we can all learn something from this story.

Our Name Is Loved addresses multiple spheres of a young child's life. It provides a healthy means of addressing emotions, bullying, family dynamics, self-esteem, self-awareness, and social & emotional learning. This book would be a great addition to your classroom or family library!
