This book goes well with the poem we posted: Isn't My Name Magical? (4/20/20). The Activity is the same. 

ACTIVITY:  What is magical about your name? Were you named after a family member or someone famous? Did your family choose a name when you were born, or had they planned it for a long time? On a sheet of paper, draw the letters of your name in magical ways. Decorate the letters in fancy shapes, or cut the letters out of a magazine or newspaper. Write a few sentences about how you were named.

Make a book of your whole family!  And photos if you can. Be sure to write the date the photos were taken.
