"That's Not My Name!" by Anoosha Syed follows the journey of a young girl who struggles with the constant mispronunciation of her name. Feeling marginalized and overlooked as her teachers and peers repeatedly get it wrong, she grapples with her identity and the importance of names. Through a heartfelt narrative, she learns to embrace her cultural heritage and assert the significance of her name. The story emphasizes themes of individuality, self-acceptance, and respect for diversity, encouraging readers to celebrate their own identities while fostering understanding and empathy in a world of varied names and backgrounds.
