The Name Jar By Yangsook Choi

This book is about a little girl named Unhei she is a Korean immigrant living in the United States. Unhei is very embarrassed by her name because some kids on the bus make fun of it and cannot pronounce it so when she gets to school she tells the students in her class that she does not have a name and the class comes up with a name jar for her but she cannot choose one that means as much as the one that she already has. This book would suit a second grade class because it is much easier to read than Maria Isabelle but it would also be a good book to use to teach about name from other countries.
