Book Synopsis:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Anjali finally gets the bike of her dreams on her birthday, she and her two best friends are excited to get matching license plates with their names on it. But Anjali can’t find her name. To make matters worse, she gets bullied for her ‘different’ name, and is so upset she demands to change it. When her parents refuse and she is forced to take matters into her own hands, she winds up learning to celebrate who she is and carry her name with pride and power. A timeless story about appreciating what makes us special and honoring our differences.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1523475703798{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
