Description
New to a school and a country that feel unfamiliar, Yoon struggles with the way her name looks and sounds in English—especially when it doesn’t match how she feels inside. To find her footing, she playfully chooses new identities for herself, calling herself “cat,” “bird,” and “cupcake,” turning small acts of self-invention into a lifeline. Through Yoon’s honest, childlike voice, the story explores belonging, identity, and the tender power of language as she learns how to be seen on her own terms. With warmth and clarity, this acclaimed picture book captures the emotional truth of starting over and the courage it takes to claim who you are.
