About the Book
"Do you know where your name comes from? Growing up in Germany, like so many children around the world, Diane Kruger felt like she stood out from 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 then Diane's mother tells her the origin of her name, and 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 theater, and she is spellbound, realizing she's meant to be an actress."--Book Synopsis

Review Quotes
"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 "Beautiful." -- Hoda Kotb, Today with Hoda & Jenna "Beautiful....Such a great new baby gift - on my go-to gift list." -- Zibby Owens, Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books
