Description

Sangoel arrives in the United States as a refugee from Sudan, carrying more than his belongings—he carries a name that everyone seems determined to mispronounce. Frustrated and misunderstood, he sets out to find a clever way to make his identity heard, turning everyday interactions into moments of discovery and courage. Along the way, the story explores belonging, language, and the small but powerful ways respect can change a person’s world. With Karen Lynn Williams’s warm, accessible storytelling, this book captures the emotional truth of starting over while celebrating the resilience it takes to be seen for who you are.
