Do you know where your name comes from? Growing up in Germany, like so many children around the world, Diane Kruger felt like she didn't fit in with the other kids. There was the pet bunny she talked to like a friend, her love of books, and even her name, which was unusual for her country. But when Diane's mother tells her the origin of her name-everything changes! Inspired by Diana, goddess of the hunt and magical protector of animals, Diane learns that she, too, will find her own special powers someday. On a trip to England, Diane and her mother visit the theatre, and she is spellbound, realising she's meant to be an actress.

This warm and relatable autobiographical story comes full circle when Diane explains how she chose her own daughter's name, and invites readers to learn the meaning behind their own name and discover their own special powers.

Illustrated in a classic storybook style by fine artist Christa Unzner, this book is sure to instil wonder as it inspires children to follow their dreams and passions.

Reviews
"Diane Kruger is celebrating the power of a name. In her new children's book, A Name From the Sky, Kruger opens up about discovering the meaning of her own name and ... hopes her book will allow kids to be empowered by their own names .... 'I think as children, we suffer through things.... Whether that's a given name, or somebody says something mean to you. Everything is so up in the air. In time, your powers will come, and you don't have to worry.'" - People magazine
