Book Title: Li Na is My Name
Author: Lisa Wee
Publisher: Dixi Books Publishing
Release Date: March 31, 2022
Genre: Children’s Picture Book
Synopsis:
Do you get teased by others for being a weirdo, a geek, a nerd or a bookworm? Friends, families and neighbours around Li-Na felt it was affectionate to tease her for her not-so-girly hobbies and clothing. Li-Na is about a little girl who refused to be stereotyped. It is a story that encourages kids to be kids until they are ready to be who they want to be. Li Na Is My Name is a book that is as relevant then as it is now. Wishing Li Na’s spirit, grit and resilience to all children. Love the way she stays true to herself. Let’s spread this so all children love themselves for just who they are.
Review:
“This engaging tale encourages resistance to gender stereotypes and highlights the power of discomfiting labels.” Kirkus

My Mini Review
Li Na is My Name is a beautiful and important children’s story that every child should read. This book illustrates the importance of names and how children do not want a word such as big, grumpy, tomboy in front of their names – they want to be called by their actual names. A word doesn’t define someone, and this book does a great job of showcasing that. Not only that, but this book also covers how we shouldn’t give in to gender stereotypes – women are capable of doing many of the same things men can, and vice versa. It’s important not to put a label on anyone, no matter their age, name, and gender. I definitely feel this is a book that will teach some valuable lessons to people of all ages.
