"Embarrassed by her long, unusual last name, an 8-year old girl discovers a reason to be proud of her heritage in Pillalamarri's debut children's book. Young readers will delight in Leela...an appealing protagonist who's inquisitive, smart and sensitive. Pillalamarri does a fine job of developing her characters. The lovely illustrations, featuring the spunky, freckled Leela, bring the perfectly chosen scenes to vivid life. The prose is smooth, and the dialogue rings with authenticity throughout. Pillalamarri also includes ideas for lessons on genealogy and etymology, including three worksheets for classroom use. A solid introduction to discovering one's own heritage that also teaches respect for others'." -- KIRKUS REVIEWS, November 2014 Meet Leela.

Now Leela is curious about her own. Will she ever come to like her last name? And, more importantly, will she learn its true meaning in time for the school's annual talent show?!
