"We Who Produce Pearls - An Anthem for Asian America" - A Picture Book for All Ages by Joanna Ho

Joanna Ho talks about "We Who Produce Pearls - An Anthem for Asian America" on this edition of "The Kids' Bookshelf." The book explores the history, culture, and future of Asian Americans. The title is a metaphor for absorbing injustice and turning it into something beautiful. The picture book contains resources in the back of the book to allow readers to more fully explore the themes in the book. The result is a book with many layers that can be appreciated by readers of any age from young children to adults.
Joanna Ho is the award-winning and New York Times bestselling author of many children's books including “Eyes that Kiss in the Corners;” “Eyes that Speak to the Stars;” “Eyes that Weave the World's Wonders,” and “Say My Name.” She joins us to talk about “We Who Produce Pearls: An Anthem for Asian America.”
I requested and was provided with a copy of the book, but this video is not sponsored.

Hi!, I'm Dan Skinner. Thanks for watching this interview. "The Kids' Bookshelf" is a channel for adults looking for age-appropriate books for the children in their lives. The series features interviews with authors and illustrators of children's books including picture books, chapter books, and middle-grade books. Viewers will learn about the inspiration for the books, what themes are explored in the books, and see sample illustrations. My goal is to give you enough information to decide if the book would be a good addition to your child's library. The series also provides a sneak peek into the creative process of the authors and illustrators.
