Booklist - 02/01/2024 Beautifully and vibrantly illustrated, A Child’s Introduction to Asian American and Pacific Islander History is a wonderful way for young readers of all backgrounds to learn about the contributions that Americans of Asian and Pacific Islander (AAPI) descent have made to the U.S. throughout history. The book strives to have as wide a scope as possible. It begins with a historical survey—starting from early AAPI immigration from various Asia-Pacific regions to the U.S. in the nineteenth century, up to the present—before focusing on topics relevant to AAPI experiences, including civil rights, cultural practices, social and scientific contributions, and religion. In every section, notable figures, such as architect I. M. Pei and designer Vera Wang, and their contributions are highlighted. Both a quality reference source as well as a fun, lively read, this book makes a great addition to any young readers' library. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
