ISBN:  9781771474320 (hardcover) : 1771474327 (hardcover) : Description:  1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 27 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  ""Thao" seems like a simple enough name. Only four letters--all of them belonging to many other names! And yet Thao had been called everything from "Tail" to "Theo" to "Towel." At one point, completely fed up, she decided it was time to try another name. Something "easy." Something like "Jennifer." But trying to be someone else only works for so long. And eventually "Jennifer" is swayed back to being herself when she opens her lunchbox and finds her mother has packed her Goi cuõn (also known as Vietnamese spring rolls)! Thao's favourite! Her name is pronounced "Tow" like the English word "how." While simple on the surface, this story of cultural assimilation and celebration of cultural pride runs deep. It is a personal one for Thao. And it will strike a chord with readers who have struggled to fit within a mainstream mold--then realized it was just more comfortable to be themselves. Visually, this book will also be a personal reflection of Thao in that she will be incorporating childhood photos into her usual cut-paper collage style! She has also opted to minimize the number of illustrations and instead play with type and typography as a way to highlight her name--and the many variations of it that appear in the book!"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library E -- Easy/Picture Books La Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Lam Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Lam Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Lam Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Lam Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Lam Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books La Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Lam Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books La Checked out 06/19/2024 Add Copy to MyList Molokai Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books La Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
