Book Description: Edimorwhitimormiligimmus Tug has a very special name that is all his own. But his teacher thinks it’s too long and hard to say. One day she shortens it to. . . Ed.
But he loves his name just the way it is. So he comes up with a plan—if he can teach everyone his name, maybe they’ll love it too!
A sweet, whimsical story about the meaningfulness behind a person’s name and the power of accepting people just as they are. My Name Is Not Ed Tug empowers readers to own their identities and proudly celebrate who they are.
Activity: As a “Stephanie” I know a bit about unsolicited name shortening. Steph, Stephy, Stephers and even totally unrelated nicknames — Dee Dee, Jenifer — have floated my way over the years. So, when I thought about book activities that relate to My Name Is Not Ed Tug, I knew what I would want to do. How about a list of My Name is NOT labels to show people exactly what you don’t go by.
