The Name Jar by Yangsook Choi
4.0

Assigned reading for MLIS 7421: Multicultural Youth Literature.

This was a super cute little story about Unhei's realization that, just because her name is different from the other kids in her class, does not mean that it is bad. She learns to appreciate the meaning of her name as well as the friends who are interested in learning about it, and her culture.
