"�??Thao�?� seems like a simple enough name. Only four letters�??all of them belonging to many other names! And yet Thao had been called everything from �??Tail�?� to �??Theo�?� to �??Towel.�?� At one point, completely fed up, she decided it was time to try another name. Something �??easy.�?� Something like �??Jennifer.�?� But trying to be someone else only works for so long. And eventually �??Jennifer�?� is swayed back to being herself when she opens her lunchbox and finds her mother has packed her Gỏi cu�?n (also known as Vietnamese spring rolls)! Thao�??s favourite! While simple on the surface, this story of cultural assimilation and celebration of cultural pride runs deep. It is a personal one for Thao. And it will strike a chord with readers who have struggled to fit within a mainstream mold�??then realized it was just more comfortable to be themselves. Visually, this book will also be a personal reflection of Thao in that she will be incorporating childhood photos into her usual cut-paper collage style! She has also opted to minimize the number of illustrations and instead play with type and typography as a way to highlight her name�??and the many variations of it that appear in the book!"--.
