From #1 NYT bestselling author Kelly Yang comes a gorgeously
illustrated picture book about Asian American changemakers doing
everything they dreamed of and inspiring all of us to reach for new
heights!
From creating beautiful music like Yo-Yo Ma to flying to outer space
like Franklin Chang-Díaz; from standing up to injustice like Fred
Korematsu to becoming the first Asian American, Black and female vice
president of the United States like Kamala Harris, this book illuminates
the power of Asian Americans all over the country, in all sorts of
fields.
Each spread is illustrated by a different renowned Asian American or
Asian artist. Alongside the poetic main text, Yes We Will includes
one-line biographies of the person or historical moment featured on the
page, with extended biographies at the end. Readers of different ages
and needs can use the book in different ways, from classroom discussions
to bedtime readalouds and more.
Yes We Will answers the question, can we accomplish whatever we dream?
With love, courage, determination, and lots of imagination, we can--and
we will!
