In this book, a little girl named Unhei moves from Korea to the United States. There are unfamiliar streets and buildings, and she would have to start at a new school. On her first day, people on the school bus noticed her and asked for her name. She told them it was Unhei, but they couldn't say it correctly. She was embarrassed, so when she introduced herself, she said that she didn't have a name, and would pick one for herself. There were many suggestions, but at the end, she chose her original name, Unhei. I suggest this book because it's related to school, and has an important lesson for a girl in a new place.

在这本书中,一个名叫Unhei的小女孩从韩国搬到了美国。这里有陌生的街道和建筑物,她还要去一所新的学校。第一天,校车上跟她聊天,还问了她的名字。 她说她叫Unhei,但他们没办法发出准确的发音。 她觉得不好意思,后来在自我介绍的时候就说自己没有名字,想自己取一个。她听了很多建议,但最终她选择了原来的名字,Unhei。我推荐这本书是因为它与学校相关,讲述了一个小女生到陌生环境的第一天。
