Nicole Lichtenberg, Director of Operations, recommends four titles:
-
Almost American Girl by Robin Ha
-
It’s Sho-time: Shohei Ohtani is What Baseball Needs by Sean Gregory and Karl Vick
-
Minari, written and directed by Lee Isaac Chung
-
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which is a celebration of the AAPI community. I couldn’t choose just one book, so I covered four.
Everyone can benefit from being exposed to experiences and perspectives different from their own. Reading books written by and featuring people from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives is a great way to build empathy.
You don’t need to wait for Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month to do this, but if you need a nudge, here it is. . .
