Book Overview
In "My Name Is Yoon," Yoon's parents encouraged her to write her name in English instead of Korean. Now it's Yoon's turn to teach her parents about something she's learned in America. When Yoon's teacher lends her a book about Santa Claus, Yoon can't wait to show it to her parents. To Yoon's disappointment, though, her mother responds, "We are not a Christmas family." As Christmas Eve approaches, Yoon learns more and more about this exciting holiday. But no matter how hard she tries to convince her parents to sing Christmas songs or put up Christmas stockings, they always say no. A determined Yoon soon realizes that she must use her own "Shining Wisdom" to persuade her parents that they can indeed be a Christmas family. Distinctive and glowing pictures with brushstrokes echoing Renoir accompany this charming story that rings true and reaches deep.

Models Respect for Parents, and Joyous Cultural Diversity
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Korean born Yoon shows full respectfulness to her parents as they stand firm for keeping Korean holidays, rather than adopting North American ones. Yet she finds appropriate ways to sustain an on-going conversation to try to persuade them. In the end, the strength and happiness of Yoon's family grows even richer. I love the values this book teaches young children AND their parents. Beautifully crafted narrative, and beautifully illustrated -- satisfying to adults as well as children.
