For Maria Isabel Salazer Lopez, the hardest thing about being the new girl in school is that the teacher doesn't call her by her real name. "We already have two Marias in this class, " says her teacher. "Why don't we call you Mary instead?"

But Maria Isabel has been named for her Papa's mother and for Chabela, her beloved Puerto Rican grandmother. Can she find a way to make her teacher see that if she loses her name, she's lost the most important part of herself?

Great book

A wonderful story of a girl finding her voice and asking to be called by her full name because it’s how she identifies with the family she comes from.

My Name is María Isabel

I used this book when I taught 3rd grade. It is a classic read for third graders. It is a powerful story about the importance of one's names and finding one's voice.

Good Story!

Good, easy read for a struggling reader. It's a chapter book, but the chapters are short so it's a quick read. Great for new students adjusting to a new classroom.
