Watercolor illustration of a tree called Identity Garden showing characters and text about names, culture, and identity.

Create an “Identity Garden,” a whimsical tree that represents the key themes, characters, and lessons from both books. The trunk will be split in two, with one side dedicated to The Name Jar and the other to My Name is Yoon, symbolizing the shared themes of cultural pride, self-discovery, and the journey to accept one’s identity. The roots at the base will include words like “name meanings,” “belonging,” and “cultural pride,” connected by colorful strings to emphasize the connection between the two books. Each branch will showcase illustrations of key scenes, such as Yoon reflecting on her name or the jar of names, with each leaf representing a comparison of the characters' feelings about their names and their emotional journeys. Some leaves will have fun facts or quotes, like a moment from Yoon’s acceptance of her name or the scene where the character in The Name Jar picks a name. See more
