Book Reviews of Ashok by Any Other Name
Book Review: A sensitive subject beautifully handled.
Summary: 5 Stars
My own children have gone through the pain of having names not considered "American." They loved this book and it helped my youngest, age 8, to deal with her feelings of exclusion based upon having an Indian name. What made the book special was the hopeful and realistic resolution to the story. It helped my daughter a lot. This is a book that deserves much greater recognition.
