Christopher Changes His Name

Scholastic Paperbacks

Itah Sadu uses a familiar storyteller's format to treat the problems of an interracial primary school with both humour and seriousness. Written with attention to rhythm, like traditional African and Caribbean spoken word, this is an effective and compassionate look at how powerful words can be used to hurt or to heal.

"I'm allergic to school!" Chelsea tells her mother. This story, for children ages five to eight, is playful, touching, sensitive and groundbreaking. It has all the elements that make a child excited, interested, and eager to know "what happens next?" The main character, Chelsea, is the focus of the attention of the adults in her world. They are concerned about what ails her and why she thinks that she is "allergic to school." Chelsea is suffering from "a touch of the zebras." The reader learns that this "touch of the zebras" is connected to Chelsea's mixed-race parentage. The reader then journeys with the child as her dilemma becomes a pleasant learning experience. Itah Sadu has been weaving this story across the country, and the response has been tremendous. From the oral traditions to the page, this delightful tale is full of fun and laughter. It also opens the door for dialogue on understanding multi-ethnic families.

Je Peux Lire! Niveau 4: Christophe Change de Nom (French Edition)

"...a collection of bold illustrations and a story that will make you smile." (Oakland Press)  "[This book] is written and illustrated with humor and spirit." (Quill & Quire )  What's in a name? Plenty, according to young Christopher Mulamba. He is tired of his ordinary name - millions of people are called Christopher, three in his class alone! Christopher wants to be special, so he decides to change his name!  In fact, he changes his name several times. He's inspired first by a strong hero named Tiger - who has the stealth of a cat; then a wise one called The Real McCoy - who was an important inventor; and then a famous one - basketball-star Michael Jordan's team number. Christopher enjoys his unique names until he receives a check from his grandmother for his birthday and tries to deposit it. Only his real name will do, but now everyone is calling him something different!  The lovable Christopher returns in this lighthearted story with a simple message about being different. It's the perfect gift for a child who's ever wanted a new name.

<p>Although Christopher is a good boy and helps others in many ways, he simply refuses to obey the one specific request that he clean up his room, but when the cockroaches and the goldfish join forces, Christopher soon learns a valuable lesson.</p>
