But her father tells her that she must learn to write it in English. In English, all the lines and circles stand alone, which is just how Yoon feels in the United States. Yoon isn't sure that she wants to be YOON. At her new school, she tries out different names--maybe CAT or BIRD. Maybe CUPCAKE! <p/>Helen Recorvits's spare and inspiring story about a little girl finding her place in a new country is given luminous pictures filled with surprising vistas and dreamscapes by Gabi Swiatkowska. <p/><i>My Name Is Yoon</i> is a Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"* With subtle grace, this moving story depicts a Korean girl's difficult adjustment to her new life in America. . . . Swiatkowska's stunningly spare, almost surrealistic paintings enhance the story's message." --<i>School Library Journal, starred review</i> <p/>"* As noteworthy for what it leaves out as for what it includes. . . . Yoon may be new to America, but her feelings as an outsider will be recognizable to all children." --<i>Publishers Weekly, starred reivew</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>HELEN RECORVITS and GABI SWIATKOWSKA have collaborated on three books about Yoon. <i>My Name Is Yoon </i>was named an ALA Notable Book, among other honors, and Ms. Swiatkowska received the Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Award for her artwork.
