Three Names of Me
Ada has three names. Wang Bin is what the caregivers called her at her Chinese orphanage. Ada is the name her American parents gave her as the three traveled home. And there is a third name, a name the infant Ada only heard whispered by her Chinese mother. That name, unknown but treasured, is someplace in Ada’s heart. Additonal pages based on Ada’s scrapbook will inspire readers to collect their own drawings, photos, and thoughts.
