More About the Author

I am a very passionate and imaginative person. So much so, that sometimes its a bit exciting just to consider half of my dreams coming true. I love to hug trees and I truly don't like wearing shoes, unless they are really, really cute. I write because I have to. I tell stories because I want to. I want my books and stories to help others. I want to connect and entertain and maybe even enlighten, even though that sounds a bit pompous, its true all the same. I write about times, events, and ideas that I want to better understand and appreciate. Sometimes life throws curve balls, I just want to see the light in all things, crazy, wacky, painful, and otherwise.

Here is the definitive guide to finding Hispanic names for our precious babies. Well researched and user friendly, I have found a treasure. No where, until this book came out, have I seen a name book that illustrates and gives such pride to our great culture. Both in English and Spanish, it offers sections on names that come from nature, the church, saints, a saint's calender, as well as does a terrific job of offering indigenous names too.

Be sure to read the forward, the author's mother's story on how she named her was touching to the deepest heart, especially for any soon to be parents.

This review is from: Como Te Llamas, Baby?: The Hispanic Baby Name Book (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

The book looks big but the trick is that only some of the pages actually have names and the rest is fluff. Plus, it's bilingual - you flip it over and the same stuff is repeated in Spanish to make a small book look worth the price. You can find the same names for free on the internet...

This was not as good as it could have been. Many of the same names were just be translated from Spanish to English and back.
