“More Awesome Asian Americans is an excellent resource for both children and adults alike. It allows readers to discover new heroes and gain inspiration from the important contributions made by AAPI individuals in bettering our country. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about the diverse and impactful history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in America.” - Asian Stories Library “I am happy to recommend More Awesome Asian Americans because it honestly brings to the fore the lives and accomplishments of 20 extraordinary people who persevered despite facing challenges from war, poverty, business failures, their Asian heritage, and in some cases their gender. The book serves as a motivating and inspiring read for any teen who has ever considered giving up when the going gets tough.” - Good Reads with Ronna ""Kids and adults will enjoy discovering a rainbow of role models. Teachers and librarians will appreciate this useful, groundbreaking anthology. Artist Juan Calle’s 60 spectacular color illustrations invigorate these relevant and meaningful portraits.... It seems like the people profiled in the book were all very well chosen. They represent diverse contributions, from athletes to scientists, humanitarians to politicians, artists to business leaders. The authors’ origins represent many different places in Asia, too."" - The Story Sanctuary
