Asian-American Children’s Book Review 2

<p>“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.” -Margaret Fuller &nbsp;</p> <p>To wrap up AAPI Heritage month, we have compiled a second list of Asian American books! &nbsp;&nbsp;We believe reading will create a sense of acceptance &amp; build self-esteem when kids read similar experiences shared from a peers perspective.</p> <p>Whether it be reading on breaking stereotypes, valuing your unique physical traits or experiencing racial profiling, kids will learn their experiences are not unique to their own. &nbsp;Below are suggested titles we feel will not only help build their confidence during current times, but also learn of their individual culture. &nbsp;&nbsp;Here are the titles, shown in order (suggested age): “A Different Pond” by Bao Phi/Thi Bui (3-8yrs) “The Name Jar” by Yangsook Choi (5-9yrs) “Yasmin in Charge” by Saadia Faruqi/Hatem Aly(5-8yrs) “Eyes that Kiss in the Corner” by Joanna Ho/Dung Ho (2-8yrs) “Pippa Park Raises Her Game” by Erin Yun (9-12yrs) “They Called Us Enemy” by George Takei/Justin Eisinger/Steven Scott/Harmony Becker (12+yrs). &nbsp;</p> <p>We hope to encourage kids, young and old, to be comfortable in your skin and be proud of who you are! Keep in mind, these books are not just for AAs, these books will inspire just anyone. &nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
