As we see around us declarations of love, suggestions on how to share our love it's equally important to remember that love is a gift we give. In the same way, with the same importance a name is also a gift that is given and that is what Zeshan Akhter's beautiful picturebook celebrates.

​

When baby is born she has no name until Mummy and Daddy whisper one in her ear, giving her the very first present she had ever received. The name they give their baby is Sitara but as she grows up and shares her gift with others, her name, they find it hard to say correctly. Sitara loves her name, she'd love for people to know how to say it properly, she researches it, discovers it has a history, a culture, a meaning and it gives her the confidence to help others pronounce it correctly. Her gift becomes a gift to others.

A charming story, filled with colourful illustrations and sharing an important message. One to love for so many reasons.​
