Would recommend this for a 4th grade class the message is great.
“It‘s not enough to be friendly. You have to be a friend.”
This book would make an excellent lesson on being unique and embracing each other‘s differences. I think it‘d be very good to include some social devotional development with this.
Unhei moves to the United States from Korea. After the kids from school make fun of her name, Unhei considers choosing an “American“ name. The kids in her class make a name jar full of suggestions. Unhei realizes that her name is the one she wants and tells her class her name!
“'I liked the beautiful names and funny names you thought of for me,' she told the class. 'But I realized that I liked my name best, so I chose it again. Korean names mean something. Unhei means grace.'“
“A life-changing story of courage, acceptance, and the power of kindness.“
