"As an educator and a mom I am always looking for books that represent and teach the Asian American experience....In each story, Asian American identity plays an important role in overcoming the challenges of racial inequity and taking pride in culture and heritage in an age appropriate way. The illustrations and graphics make this book really accessible." - Karen Fukushima, Middle School Dean, Harvard Westlake, California
