Our story of Tatanisha

Babies everywhere begin with the easy sounds of m, p, b, t and d, and parents take those first syllables as words: mama and papa, and in Polish, Czech and Romanian, tata for father. Linguists see it as one reason words for parents sound so alike across unrelated languages. Tatanisha begins with that doubled first syllable and finishes with the -nisha ending of its day. It is rhythmic and bright.
