My Name Is Saajin Singh

“An inspired effort that teaches empathy. It also reflects the experiences of many children: perhaps the next generation will get people’s names—and much more—right.”

Quill & Quire, 09/28/22

“Brar focuses on Saajin’s emotional reaction to hearing his name mispronounced, while Kaur’s cartooned illustrations in classic crayon hues energize a familiar arc.”

Publishers Weekly, 10/06/22

“A beautiful story about friendship, identity, family and about now we can take steps to advocate for ourselves.”

Canadian Children’s Book News, Fall/22

“This is a great read in classrooms to breach the subject of different cultures, naming conventions, and how your name can be a great way to connect with other people. Highly recommended.”

CM Reviews, 01/27/23

“An empowering story that can resonate with any reader who has ever felt misunderstood.”
