Description: Unhei has just moved from Korea to America, and on her first day at school, she feels anxious when her classmates struggle to pronounce her name. Embarrassed, she says she hasn’t chosen one yet. Curious and eager to help, her new classmates create a “name jar,” filling it with suggestions ranging from American names like Suzy or Amanda to creative ideas. As Unhei considers these options, she reflects on her heritage and what her Korean name truly means. Guided by her family’s reminder of her name’s beauty, and supported by classmates who come to appreciate it, Unhei makes her choice: to keep her own name, proudly introducing herself. This heartfelt picture book explores themes of identity, cultural pride, and acceptance. With warm illustrations and gentle storytelling, it reassures readers that our names carry the stories of who we are and deserve to be celebrated.
