국내에서는 "내 이름은 윤이에요"라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간된 명작 그림책입니다.
내 이름은 윤이에요. 나는 가족과 함께 한국에서 아주 먼 나라인 미국으로 이민을 왔어요. 아빠는 나에게 학교에 가면 이름을 'YOON' 이라고 써야 한다고 했어요. 내 이름 "윤"은 한글로 '빛나는 지혜'란 뜻이래요. 하지만 영어 YOON은 글자 하나하나가 홀로 있는 쓸쓸한 느낌이어서 마음에 들지 않았습니다. 반면에 한글 "윤"은 하나로 모여 있어서 왠지 행복한 것처럼 느껴집니다.
나는 학교에서 나누어주는 시험지에 'YOON' 이라는 이름을 쓰고 싶지 않았어요. 그렇다고 한글로 "윤"이라고 쓸 수도 없었지요. 그래서 나는 고양이처럼 몰래 숨고 싶어서 'CAT'라고 적었어요. 그리고 다음 날은 새처럼 한국으로 날아가고 싶어서'BIRD'라고 적어보았죠. 그런데 선생님은 살며시 나를 보며 웃어주시는 거예요. 그리고 그 날 쉬는 시간에 혼자서 그네에 앉아 있는데, 머리를 묶은 여자애가 나에게 다가와서 컵케익 하나를 주네요. 우리는 서로 마주보고 웃었어요. 교실에 돌아 왔을 때, 이번에는 시험지에 이름을 "CUPCAKE'라고 적었어요. 만일 내가 컵케익이 된다면, 교실에 있는 아이들은 모두 나를 좋아하겠죠? 선생님도 나의 새로운 이름인 컵케익을 매우 좋아하셨어요.
학교에서 돌아 온 후, 나는 엄마와 아빠에게 오늘 학교에서 일어난 일들을 자랑스럽게 얘기했어요. 그리고 학교에서 배운 영어 노래도 들려줬지요. 엄마와 아빠는 이런 나를 매우 자랑스러워 했어요. 나는 미국이라는 새로운 곳이 좋은 곳일지도 모른다는 생각이 들었어요. 그리고 내일은 왠지 시험지에 'YOON'이라는 이름을 적고 싶어졌어요...

Book Description
Yoon's name means "shining wisdom," and when she writes it in Korean, it looks happy, like dancing figures. But her father tells her that she must learn to write it in English. In English, all the lines and circles stand alone, which is just how Yoon feels in the United States. Yoon isn't sure that she wants to be YOON. At her new school, she tries out different names--maybe CAT or BIRD. Maybe CUPCAKE!
Helen Recorvits's spare and inspiring story about a little girl finding her place in a new country is given luminous pictures filled with surprising vistas and dreamscapes by Gabi Swiatkowska.
School Library Journal
With subtle grace, this moving story depicts a Korean girl's difficult adjustment to her new life in America. Yoon, or "Shining Wisdom," decides that her name looks much happier written in Korean than in English ("I did not like YOON. Lines. Circles. Each standing alone"). Still, she struggles to please her parents by learning an unfamiliar language while surrounded by strangers. Although her teacher encourages her to practice writing "Yoon," the child substitutes other words for her name, words that better express her inner fears and hopes. Calling herself "CAT," she dreams of hiding in a corner and cuddling with her mother. As "BIRD," she imagines herself flying back to Korea. Finally, she pretends she is "CUPCAKE," an identity that would allow her to gain the acceptance of her classmates. In the end, she comes to accept both her English name and her new American self, recognizing that however it is written, she is still Yoon. Swiatkowska's stunningly spare, almost surrealistic paintings enhance the story's message. The minimally furnished rooms of Yoon's home are contrasted with views of richly hued landscapes seen through open windows, creating a dreamlike quality that complements the girl's playful imaginings of cats on the chalkboard, trees growing on walls, and a gleeful flying cupcake. At first glance, Yoon seems rather static, but her cherubic face reveals the range of her feelings, from sadness and confusion to playfulness, and finally pride. A powerful and inspiring picture book.
Booklist
"I wanted to go back home to Korea. I did not like America. Everything was different here." Yoon doesn't want to learn the new ways. Her simple, first-person narrative stays true to the small immigrant child's bewildered viewpoint, and Swiatkowska's beautiful paintings, precise and slightly surreal, capture her sense of dislocation. Reminiscent of the work of Allen Say, the images set close-ups of the child at home and at school against traditional American landscapes distanced through window frames. In a classroom scene many children will relate to, everything is stark, detailed, and disconnected--the blackboard, the teacher's gestures, one kid's jeering face--a perfect depiction of the child's alienation. By the end, when Yoon is beginning to feel at home, the teacher and children are humanized, the surreal becomes playful and funny instead of scary, and Yoon is happy with friends in the wide, open school yard. Now she is part of the landscape.
