Description:
1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 26 cm.
Summary:
A debut picture book that explores the importance of pronouncing names properly and celebrates cultural identity.
Saajin
loves his
name
he loves it so much that he sees it spelled out in the world around him in his snacks, in the sky and sometimes he even sings it aloud. On his first day of school,
Saajin
is excited to meet his new classmates, but things take a turn when the teacher mispronounces his
name
as Say-jin and he is not sure how or if he should correct her. After trying to live with the different version of his
name
for a while and some thoughtful conversations with his family about the meaning behind it,
Saajin
realizes the importance of reclaiming his
name
and embracing his identity. This empowering story, accompanied by energetic and vibrant art by Samrath Kaur, will resonate with any reader who has ever felt misunderstood.
