| When Zimdalamashkermishkada starts a new school, he knows he's got to do something about his long name. When no amount of shrinking, folding or crumpling works, he simply settles for Zim but deep down, it doesn't feel right. It's not until a new friend sees him for who he truly is that Zimdalamashkermishkada finds the confidence to step boldly into his long name. A warm and uplifting story that encourages young readers to celebrate their individuality, and shows how no-one should ever have to shrink themselves down to fit in. |
