The Name Jar
The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi is an adorable picture book with an equally beautiful message.
The central character in the story is little Unhei, a young girl who has recently moved from Korea to U.S. The shift in culture fills her with anxiety. She is worried if her new classmates will like her. When a few kids on the bus make fun of her name, she decides she needs a new American name. Her classmates come up with the idea of a name jar to help her choose her new name; but one day the name jar vanishes.
