My Review

I used to hate my name growing up, but one day my mom explained to me how she came up with each of her kids names. She chose them all from the Bible. Knowing that she named me after something so very important to her meant the world to me. I think that this book does an amazing job at showing you that no matter your name, it is special. That name was a very big choice for a parent to make, and there’s always a story or reason behind it. Wonderful illustrations bring the book to life!

About The Author

IT ALL STARTED…when I had my first child. Billy Mac ❤️. Billy Mac is a family name. Yes, he has a middle name…Maurice! Which is also a family name 🙂. His name means so much and he means so much to us. My late grandfather was William McDonald. Back in the day when William’s were Billy and Richard’s were Dick. Billy Mac loved us dearly and led a good life. You see, names have deep and personal meanings. Families go to great lengths sometimes to name their children. Names that will live on forever. So as new parents, we were quite surprised when so many struggled to say his full name. Some not even trying to get it right. And I thought to myself, this is how Samantha’s become Sam’s and Jonathan’s become Jon? Why?

I dont have the answer (yet 🙂 but this secretly renaming of individuals led me to this children’s book idea. We love reading and reading to our children. We’ve had the privilege to live in many states and meet so many wonderful people and families. Families with unique children names like Leaf, Meadow, Tall and Sunshine. I could go on and on. Your Special Name encourages kids of all ages to embrace the history and excitement in their SPECIAL name and respect and connect with the potential meaning of others names. I hope you and your family really enjoy this book.
