Meet Anjali! She's the spunky star of this audiobook with a timeless message about appreciating what makes us special and honoring our different identities.

Anjali and her friends are excited to buy matching personalized license plates for their bikes--but Anjali can't find a plate with her name. She is often teased about her "different" name, and this is the last straw. Anjali is so upset that she demands her parents let her pick a new name! When they refuse, Anjali decides to take a closer look at who she is--beyond her name--and why being different means being marvelous. 

Actress and activist Sheetal Sheth has penned a deeply personal audiobook about the experience of feeling othered and the journey toward embracing yourself.
