Title: My Name Is Yoon
Author: Helen Recorvitz
Contemporary Realistic Fiction (Primary Level)
My Name Is Yoon is a story about a Korean girl who moves to the United States. The story is told through the perspective of Yoon. Her name in Korean means "Shining Wisdom," and Yoon absolutely loves how her name looks when written in Korean. Now that she is going to school in America, her father tells her that she has to learn how to learn her name in English. When her father teaches her how she becomes upset. She then tells how much more she likes to write her name in Korean because all of the lines in the character "dance together." Instead of writing her actual name on her papers, she wants to write other words that she learns because they make her happy.
I really enjoyed reading this book because it is a very creative and imaginative book. It is wonderful to see how the Yoon feels about her name when it is written in two different languages. I would recommend this book for all ages because it will teach everyone an important lesson.
