Celebrate Uniqueness – A Beautiful Story!
As a second grade teacher, I read this to my class every year because I love the story and the beautiful message it presents. The story is about Unhei who has just moved from Korea to America and she is very much missing home. Her classmates can’t pronounce her name and some of the kids on the bus make fun of it, so she decides she needs an American name and her class starts her a name jar that they all put new name choices in for her. Suddenly the jar goes missing, courtesy of a new friend she makes after he overhears her in the Korean store using her real name; he takes the jar because he wants her to use her real name, which she does and she shows her class the special name stamp she was given. We read this story and discuss it in class and I even look up each child’s name and what it means, so they love learning about the origins of their own name just like Unhei.This is such a great multicultural story and a great way to explore a different culture, Korean, and my students love learning some of the tidbits of information about Korea revealed through the story. The illustrations are beautiful, colorful, and very detailed. The story is a bit lengthy, but it can hold my second graders’ attention. Most importantly, I love the messages in the story: 1. We should embrace other cultures and their customs 2. Be proud to be unique and celebrate what makes you unique and don’t change for anyone.You will not be disappointed with this book!

Great classroom resource
This book is a great book to read in the beginning of the school year. I like to use this story as way to introduce all the students by picking each name out of our classroom name job. Definitely worth purchasing.

Great message, but too lengthy for toddlers
Great book, loved the message and scenes in the classroom. It was definitely wordy though, and both my 3 and 5 year olds were a little squirmy by the end. I found myself skipping parts because it was a lot to read – and Iâm a reader at heart. I would recommend this for an older kid, like 1st-2nd grade.

I read it at the library, and just had to buy it for when my girl starts Kindergarten next September. It’s a beautiful story of accepting each other’s differences, self discovery, and friendship.

We live in Sicily, originally from England so I wanted to get my 5 year old a book that would be about starting school in a new country.. she really likes this book so thats why I’ve given it 4 stars, afterall it is a kids book so her opinion matters most on it ! But as a parent I find it sooo wordy, and I mean really wordy. Unhei is from Korea and starts school but is apprehensive the other children won’t be able to pronounce her name and so she decides she wants to fit in and have an American name. The children start a name jar for her, where they all put names in for her to choose one. It’s after this point I feel it gets a bit drawn out, she goes to a local Korean shop with her mum, chats to the Korean shop owner who tells her what a beautiful name she has, she then gets a letter from her grandma in Korea whose letter (basically) tells her to stay true to herself, she then bumps into a lad from her class who hears someone else say her name and he hides the name jar in the hopes she will keep her own name.. which obviously in the end she does and everyone loves it and after practicing they can all pronounce it properly.As I said my 5 year old loves it and has brought it to me a number of times and asked me to read it, that is what matters most ! I just find it a bit too long winded!!!

This is such a great book about showing kids the cultural differences, inclusion, mutual understanding, friendship and even standing up to be yourself. It’s great. I read it to my child and we both loved it.

This is a lovely and though-provoking story which I think would work best with children around 8 and up. Our Year Four class had very profound discussions around how we treat new people and what our names / background / individuality mean to us and why they are important. A good read-aloud, especially in a class you are trying to get thinking about how well they include others.
