Soul Name, a cultural children's book with an accompanying read-along disk, is a heart-warming story of how a Ghanaian family welcomes a new member into the family. Filled with colorful pictures depicting the African way of life, Soul Name, is narrated by Ekua, the oldest child in the family. Her curiousity coupled with humor and poetry bring to life the first ceremony in a Ghanaian's life: the customs of naming and the importance and esteem a family attaches to the given name. Soul Name is entertaining as well as educational. It appeals to children of all ages and the young at heart, helping each one learn about one's world neighbors on the African continent. The reader is drawn in as he or she is invited to learn his or her soul name. As an educational tool, it appeals to educators, parents, and grandparents and can be used in the educational setting or at home. Every page of Soul Name contains a wealth of information about a unique people and culture: a welcome addition to any child's library.
