My Name Is Maria Isabel

A third grader realizes the importance of her name in this classic story of heritage and self-identity.

For MarÃa Isabel Salazar LÃ³pez, the hardest thing about being the new girl in school is that the teacher doesn't call her by her real name. "We already have two MarÃas in this class," says her teacher. "Why don't we call you Mary instead?"
But MarÃa Isabel has been named for her PapÃ¡'s mother and for Chabela, her beloved Puerto Rican grandmother. Can she find a way to make her teacher see that if she loses her name, she's lost the most important part of herself?
