In this episode, I’m talking with Suma Subramaniam and Tara Anand, the author and illustrator team that came together to create My Name is as Long as a River.

It’s a stunning picture book celebrating the power of names, the history behind them and why they matter to who we are. 

Come listen as we talk about Suma’s inspiration for the book, how Tara brought the story to life in the most stunning ways and how readers might use the book as a way to connect and reconnect with their names, too.
