AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When Zimdalamishkermishkada 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 Zimdalamishkermishkada 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.' ​(Publication summary)
