To the best of the researcher's knowledge, The Arrival has only been studied as a vivid example of multicultural literature in Australian Middle Schools to highlight diversity issues as race and ethnicity. The study is designed to answer these questions 'What is the 'hybrid' identity?' 'What is the relation between multiculturalism and postcolonial studies?' 'Is the migrant's arrival accepted or not?' To answer these questions, the researcher adopts an analytical/theoretical approach to present a unique examination of global mobility within the 'rhetoric of hybridity' illustrated visually in a surrealist picturebook to universalize the 'migrant's experience'. The present study aims to trace the signs of 'hybridity' in The Arrival (2006) by Shaun and to establish it as visual postcolonial narrative within the domain of migration literature.

The present study is analytical /theoretical/ aiming at establishing My Name is Yoon as visual Multicultural literature. Yet, I perceive it as a complex picture book within the domain of migration literature not only intended for educational uses. The selected visual narrative has only been – to the best of my knowledge-studied as a vivid example of multicultural literature in primary schools designed for children whose age ranged from 5-9 as an activity for an English class to highlight diversity issues such as race and ethnicity.

They also yield rich insights into how to practice multiculturalism. The current study aims at theorizing the question of identity within the framework of postcolonial Asian American Diaspora in Helen Reservist's and Gabi Swiatkowska's picture book My Name is Yoon (2003) to highlight a number of questions: 1) How can Asian American visuals be addressed in non-white children's literature? 2) What are the nature of belonging and citizenship? 3) What makes Yoon, the immigrant girl, who resisted in writing her name in English in the beginning eventually writes it in English at the end? The questions are a vehicle to investigate the cultural and ethnic politics of Asian American literature and to explore new forms of self-identification in American literary discourse.
