About This Book
『My Story, Alma』 is the winner of the 2019 Caldecott Honor Award and is the work of Juana Martinez-Neil, who moved to the United States from Peru. Alma is worried because her name is long. Alma's name is 'Alma Sofia Esperanza Jose Pura Candela'. Alma worries that her name is too long and doesn't suit her. Through conversation, her father unravels the story of her family that is tied to each of her names.
This book is a picture book that calmly tells the story of Alma's natural realization and feeling of 'what are her roots and what is her family's identity?' through conversations with her father. In it, Alma learns about her family's history that she had never known before, confirms the love between her family members, and more than anything else, she feels the richness of her life. Additionally, this book will be a great opportunity to read and talk with children who are curious about 'who came up with their name and what it means'.
Above all, her work, which won the Caldecott Honor Award and stands out for its harmony of soft pencil lines and bright red on a cream-colored background, conveys family love and emotional intimacy gently and vividly with a warm gaze, and has a high level of perfection using the control and contrast of the overall picture's strengths and weaknesses. Pictures have great power in focusing the story.
