The Name I Folded Away

Theme: Identity consolidation, naming discomfort
Symbol: Old name tag
Use Case: For children releasing names that no longer fit - socially, culturally, or gender-wise
CASEL Alignment: Self-awareness

This book quietly honors the space between names - the old one folded away, the new one not yet spoken. The tag isn’t rejected or reclaimed. It’s just not worn. Especially resonant for gender-diverse youth or those renegotiating cultural identity, this story offers pause without pressure.
Art Prompt: Draw the name you used to wear - and where it rests now.
