Strength doesn't always roar. Sometimes, it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.' Camille’s story is a powerful reminder that our challenges do not define us and teaches us that standing up against bullying is everyone's fight. Link in bio to learn more! 📖

"Maya Lin: Artist-Architect of Light and Lines" illuminates the captivating story of Maya Lin, the brilliant mind behind the iconic Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC. From her early years, Maya's deep appreciation for nature and art blossomed, influenced by her father's clay creations and her mother's poetic expression. Fueled by her passion, she pursued architecture in college, setting the stage for a remarkable journey. During her final year of college, Maya fearlessly entered a design contest for the future Vietnam Veterans Memorial, pitted against 1,421 other entries. Her design, characterized by its simplicity, strength, and boundless creativity, emerged as the winning choice. However, the revelation of Maya as the designer triggered unexpected challenges and opposition to her creation. Undeterred, she stood her ground, and her extraordinary design eventually found its rightful place. Maya's awe-inspiring talent didn't end with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial; she went on to sculpt numerous memorials, sculptures, and architectural marvels. The book's author's note enriches the narrative with further insights into Maya's life, accompanied by a photograph of her holding a scale model of her groundbreaking design. "Maya Lin: Artist-Architect of Light and Lines" showcases Maya's indomitable spirit and enduring contributions, inspiring readers to embrace their own artistic visions and overcome obstacles on their path to greatness. 📖 Title: Maya Lin: Artist-Architect of Light and Lines ✍🏻 Author: Jeanne Walker Harvey (@jeannewharvey) 🎨Illustrator: Dow Phumiruk (@dowphumiruk) 📚 Publisher: Henry Holt & Co (@henryholtbooks) Affiliate purchase link provided in my bio.

When Becca Goldstein’s parents drag her to an archeological site in Israel as part of a family vacation, she did not expect to become famous in the archeology community. Nor did she expect to discover a connection to another girl her age who had lived on the same site 2,000 years earlier. Told in alternating chapters, this is the story of two similar girls in two very different ages and their remarkably similar struggles to reckon with the changes in their lives.

I’m excited to reveal a project that’s been a labor of love and collaboration. Dear Daughter: A Love Story is not just a book my dad wrote for me, it’s a gift of love that shines for daughters everywhere. It’s a collection of letters that I hold dear since it was a Valentine’s Day gift in 2022. Drawing inspiration from him, I’ve written my second children’s book titled, Everyday Heroes: Real People, True Heroes. Set in the magical Castle Academy, it’s a journey through the eyes of those who make our world a little brighter everyday. It’s a celebration of the unsung heroes around us, and a reminder that acts of kindness echo forever. I’m dedicating the first copy as a gift to my dad, the hero of my story. Stay tuned for the story behind the book and how you can share this journey with the heroes in your life. #EverydayHeroes #DearDaughter #newbookalert #daddysgirl❤️ #therulesofabigboss #diversechildrensbooks #fathersdaygift

Kailani’s Gift by Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, illustrated by Lynnor Bontigao Kailani wants to participate in the tinikling dance for her grandparent’s anniversary party, but her older siblings call her “clumsy,” saying she’s too little. She tries learning how to hold the bamboo sticks and click to the rhythm but drops them. Daddy teaches her the dance, and Kailani practices all week. With a new dress on, Kailani is given the chance to dance at the party. Back matter includes a note from the author to persevere through new things and a glossary of words in Tagalog. Bontigao’s adorable illustrations and Gilmore-Young’s text make a powerful diverse story of perseverance. I remember a PE class at my elementary where we were taught the tinikling, the national dance of the Philippines. So when I saw the dance in this book, it made me smile. I also loved seeing lumpia (Filipino egg rolls) on Kailani’s plate. I love making and eating them! @dorinagilmore @lbontigao @waterbrookmultnomahkids #aapiheritagemonth #diversechildrensbooks #picturebookreviews #pictureoftheday #tiniklingdance #filipinobooksforkids #asianchildrensbooks #bookstagram

ASIAN KID LITERATURE • AANHPI Heritage month | #gifted @randomhousekids #RandomHouseKidsPartner MY LOST FREEDOM by @georgehtakei | illustrated by @fromthebear This is a moving true story of George Takei about growing up in Japanese American incarceration camps during World War II. Jailed in prison camp at the age of four, the despair, anger and harsh conditions didn’t take away hope from people’s heart. Made with a lot of care, this is a candid story of resilience. The art is beautiful, making raw emotions palpable. This nonfiction book is important and powerful! For those who read ‘They called us enemy’, this is a great companion read for younger readers. (the author’s note is amazing) BUILT TO LAST by @bottomshelfbks | illustrated by @dsantat This is a story about two boys who became friends by accident. In their attempts to build things, real and imaginary, the creations always came tumbling down and they wonder what creation would last. Highly imaginative, the playful text and vibrant art impress readers in this metaphorical story. It is about the beauty of friendship, regardless of its flaws. This book is adorable and readers will easily connect with the story and characters. I found the message utterly precious. Highly recommend!  #reviewsbyelena #kidlit

Raising bilingual kids? Here are 5 tips you might want to skip for a smoother journey! 1. Avoid Simultaneous Translation: Instead of repeating everything twice in both languages, focus on immersive experiences. Repeating can cause kids to ignore the non-dominant language. 2. No Forcing the Language: Don’t impose negative consequences if your child doesn’t respond in a specific language. Encourage and support them with positive reinforcement. 3. Flexible Language Approach: Don’t be too rigid with the ‘One Parent One Language’ guideline. Adapt to what works best for your family’s dynamics. 4. Age-Appropriate Learning: Use engaging and interactive methods like play and stories for young kids instead of direct instruction meant for older children. 5. Don’t Give Up: Raising bilingual children can be challenging, but consistency and patience are key. Keep at it, and celebrate small victories along the way! Visit https://polyglotparenting.com for more tips on raising bilingual kids! . . . . . : : . . . Attention all language loving parents! Looking for a fun and easy way to teach your kids a second language? Heritage Press’s bilingual children’s book series is the perfect starter set for young learners.

During my college years, I became interested in non-fiction/history. I realized how little I knew about our world, especially concerning Asian and Asian American history. With a desire to fill in these gaps, I’ve been seeking out books that shed light on these important stories. One such book that profoundly impacted me is Erika Lee’s “The Making of Asian America: A History”. This collaboration with Christina Soontornvat is an adaptation of that book, targeted to a middle school audience. “Made in Asian America” breathes life into Asian American history for the next generation, skillfully crafted to inform and inspire young minds. Undoubtedly, it will become a staple in educating this age group about Asian American history. The book’s introduction powerfully underscores the relevance of Asian American history in contemporary events while highlighting its unfortunate neglect in mainstream education—a gap that this book admirably fills. Structured chronologically, it also delves into broader themes like the pervasive model minority myth. Beginning with Christopher Columbus's erroneous belief of landing in Asia in 1492 and the West’s fascination with all things “Oriental,” the book navigates through history, culminating in the anti-Asian sentiments fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors write, “Because the history of Asian Americans has been ignored or forgotten, stereotypes have flourished. Asian Americans have been painted as forever foreigners, exotic objects of desire, or model monitories who don’t have to worry about racism.” The book concludes on an empowering note, showcasing modern-day young activists who are reshaping history. It serves not only as an educational tool, but also as a call to action, urging readers to create a history worthy of repetition. Thank you to author Christina Soontornvat and Essie Wu from @resilientpandahistory for sending me this advance reader’s edition! 📖 Title: Made in Asian America: A History for Young People ✍🏻 Authors: Erika Lee (@prof_erikalee) & Christina Soontornvat (@csoontornvat) 📚 Publisher: Quill Tree Books / Harper Kids (@harperkids) Affiliate purchase link provided in my bio.
