Perfect for back-to-school, this empowering and joyous picture book shows kids the importance of loving your name, having pride in your culture, and standing up for yourself.

"As a proud Nigerian, whose full name is Yvonne Anwuli Adaeze Orji, which means 'Archer of happiness, daughter of a king, strong oak, ' I love the messaging of this book!"--Yvonne Orji, actress, comedian, and author

Nigerian American sisters Chichi and Didi are ready for the first day of school! But after Chichi is teased for her "different" name, she comes home feeling discouraged.

Daddy and Mama tell the sisters the stories behind their names, helping Chichi return to school with her head held high.

Inspired by the childhood experiences of real-life sisters Peace Amadi and Ndidi Amadi, Chichi and Didi Love Their Names will teach readers:
  • to be curious about the origin and meanings of their own names
  • the importance of identity and saying names correctly
  • the beauty in celebrating difference and taking pride in uniqueness
