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.*

When you are a kid and you do something naughty, you might get sent to time out or the naughty corner. But when you are an adult and you do something bad, you could end up in prison. This is exactly what happened to Rocket, who is our guest today on Kids Pod.
