This CBCA 2022 Winning New Illustrator Book is a clever story that challenges the Australian culture of shortening a person name rather than putting in the effort to learn long names so they can be pronounced correctly. While Zim learns to skate, Elly learns how to say his name - Zim-dala-mish-ker-mish-kada.

The team at Learn From Play have made 4 activities for this book which include matching names to their nicknames, handwriting practice with string, a cut and paste recipe for making soft ada and sticky rice and instructions to draw a bird like Michelle Pereira does in the book.
