“They are Mama and Amah and Mei-Mei. They are me. And they are beautiful.“

This is a great book to read in your classroom! It can serve as a window and/or a mirror!

A book featuring an Asian American girl's reflection on her eyes and her family. The illustrations depict characters from Chinese mythology (like the Monkey King). Very uplifting!

“And some of us are extravagant. We like to go big whenever we can!“

This is a great book to teach children to embrace teamwork, celebrate differences, and show kindness through taking care of one another. There are great messages within this book making it a wonderful addition to any children's library.

This book is so beautifully illustrated and unique. It shares a great story of celebrating children's one-of-a-kind strengths and differences. In this book, children building their own hot air balloons shows how their talents and abilities are beautiful.

A good message both literally (body) and metaphorically (other ways of being “too big“). The illustration effects are creative- the character grows trapped by the size of the page but breaks free of those boundaries.
