A Name for Sister

When Sister was born, she had toes like grains of rice. She had hair as dark as sesame sweets . . . But she had no name. 

Only a name as passionate and graceful as Fire, honest and stable as Earth, strong and ambitious as Gold, bright and wise as Water, and creative and prosperous as Wood could fit a baby like Sister.

Discover how a young girl and her family find the perfect name in this magical, whimsical and stunning ode to Chinese tradition and sisterly bonds. This sweet tale is one that growing families will treasure.
