The Name Jar By Yangsook Choi (Gredea 4-6)

Being the new kid in school is hard, but what about when nobody can properly pronounce your name? The Name Jar is a picture book that explores the indentities, specifically names, of young immigrants. Unhei is nervous that about the students not liking her, so she doesn't introduce herself, instead telling the class that she doesn't have a name. This picture book talks about the voices of immigrants whose traditional names have been supressed, and possibly overpowered by more Western sounding names.
