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

I’m loving the illustrations too.
I’ve been following Lisa Wee on Instagram for a bit. Her illustrations are great. I wish her all the best on her first book.
As one with a granddaughter who is strong enough to be herself, I appreciate books like this to support and encourage others to do the same. They need support, love, and understanding. No matter how much they want to be themselves and how bravely they try, bullies and those who do not understand are hurtful and make their lives miserable.
Sounds like a good book.

The book sounds adorable. I’d love to read this to my grandchildren.
Sounds like a wonderful book for my young niece!
