My Name is Sophia is written as if Sophia is writing the book herself. She begins with her birthplace in Missouri where many dogs are being born. She tells her readers that her dad picked her out of a large group of little dogs which made her feel special. This move from her birthplace in Missouri to living in Palm Springs, California was an adjustment. At the same time, she is learning new things as she grows up, she learned about what grief meant for a little dog. Her most enjoyment is learning new words. Sophia explains to her readers that she knows she is spoiled, but she knows the importance of being a "good girl" for her dad. She talks about the importance of her breed, her ancestors and why that is important. She loves a daily routine, her regular monthly dates of grooming with baths, haircuts, and spa treatments. Sophia also shares with her young readers the safety of traveling in the car. She stresses the importance of new words she is learning...diversity means being special, ancestors, home, and how to be a good girl as well as knowing how to manipulate her dad to get what she wants.
