Program Description
MY NAME IS AI LIN, written by Maria Wen Adcock, author of “It’s Chinese New Year, Curious George,” is perfect for Back-to-School or throughout the year whenever kids are meeting new friends and learning names. This interactive author visit promotes social emotional skills and cultural awareness. Book Description: When Ai Lin starts school, none of her classmates can pronounce her name. Ai Lin knows the significance of her Chinese name. Her name is part of her identity and her heritage. It ties her to her family — present and past. When she shares her family history, her classmates come to understand that a name can be a person’s story, special and unique. Ai Lin’s name is as personal as a fingerprint, as distinct as a snowflake. In this empowering story, one child shows that by making the effort to properly pronounce someone's name, we send the welcoming message that everyone is worthy of respect and dignity.
