*This is a Kids Pod Rewind episode where we listen to a past interview from the Kids Pod archives.*

Welcome to Kids Pod, a podcast where kids get to ask adults the questions they really want to know. Nothing is too rude to ask. You send in the questions and our adults will give kids the answers they want to hear.

Do you have a weird name that no one knows how to spell or pronounce? Our guest on Kids Pod today has a very unusual first name. In the 1930s there was a famous French writer who had the same name as our guest. But if you are a kid living in 2020, you might not know that, so her name might seem confusing. She is going to tell us what it's like to live with this kind of confusion every day.

*Did you know that the creator of Kids Pod, Aimee Chan, is also a children's author? Her latest book, The Happy Mask, is all about what it's like to be a kid living in a world surrounded by masks. It's a really gentle book that's great to read with your parents, friends and teachers. You can find out all about The Happy Mask and other books by Aimee Chan at aimeechan.com or you can order all her books from your local bookstore.*
