Book Reviews of My Name Is Yoon (Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Award, 2004)
Book Review: Yoon is Adapting to America
Summary: 5 Stars
Yoon is a little girl who has moved to America from Korea. She feels very displaced and is unhappy with having to write her name in English. Korean writing is much more beautiful to her. This story illustrates how difficult it can be to move to another country and learn another language. It's hard and it often implies that a person must give up ways of living that the person holds dear. This story provides a smidgen of insight into this conflict.
