MEET THE AUTHORS OF "AN ASIAN AMERICAN A TO Z: A CHILDREN'S GUIDE TO OUR HISTORY"

Meet the Authors! An Asian American A to Z
Thursday, May 11th, 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
 
Meet Cathy Linh Che and Kyle Lucia Wu, the authors of An Asian American A to Z: A Children's Guide to Our History, at Kensington Library on Thursday, May 11th, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. 

From Brooklyn Public Library:
Join us for a special storytime in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and meet the authors!

A comprehensive and spirited exploration of Asian American history—its movements, cultures, and key figures—beautifully illustrated and compellingly told for readers of all ages.

Co-authors Cathy Linh Che and Kyle Lucia Wu take us on a journey through stories of celebration and resistance: the Third World Liberation Front, the Muslim Ban, Japanese American incarceration camps, Padma Lakshmi, Rashida Tlaib, Sunisa Lee, and more. It is a history of struggle, but also one of great triumph, brought to life with colorful and dynamic illustrations by Kavita Ramchandran.

Written by the directors of Kundiman—an organization dedicated to nurturing Asian American writers—An Asian American A to Z is a book for children of all backgrounds and a vital resource for tomorrow's organizers. Asian American identity formation is expansive yet under-taught, and this book is a necessary intervention that will ground readers in joy, history, and solidarity.

Limited copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.
