¿Cómo terminó Alma Sofía Esperanza José Pura Candela con un nombre tan largo? Seis nombres le parecen demasiados, sobre todo cuando hay que escribirlos detrás de una foto pequeñita. Alma le pregunta a Papi, y él le cuenta la historia de cada uno: Sofía, la abuela que amaba los libros y las flores; Esperanza, la bisabuela que soñaba con viajar; José, el abuelo artista, y otros familiares más. Mientras escucha, Alma siente que su nombre le queda perfecto y descubre que algún día tendrá su propia historia que contar.

English Translation

Alma and How She Got Her Name

Alma Sofia Esperanza José Pura Candela has six names — far too many, she thinks, to fit on the back of a little photo. So she asks Daddy how such a small girl ended up with such a big name. One by one, he tells her about Sofia, the grandmother who loved books and flowers; Esperanza, the great-grandmother who longed to travel; José, the grandfather who was an artist; and the others she was named for. As Alma listens, her name begins to feel like a perfect fit — and she realizes she will have her own story to tell.
