From Olympic ice dancing medalists Alex and Maia Shibutani, this
beautifully illustrated picture book highlights the achievements of many
Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have made invaluable
contributions to the world.
Inclusivity sets this beautifully illustrated picture book apart in its
exploration of thirty-six inspirational Asian Americans and Pacific
Islanders, such as disabled hero Daniel Inouye, immigrant astronaut
Kalpana Chawla, and biracial entertainer Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Olympic medalist siblings Maia and Alex Shibutani felt compelled to
create a book showing the undeniably positive impacts that Pacific
Islanders and Asian Americans have made in this country and around the
world. Thanks to quick and accessible biographies written with
journalist Dane Liu, readers will learn about important figures who have
shaped life-altering policy, made indelible marks on pop culture, and
achieved their greatest dreams--paving the way for future generations to
make lasting change.
