A is for Asian American: An Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Alphabet (Arts and Culture Alphabet)
by Virginia Loh-Hagan, Tracy Nishimura Bishop (Illustrator)

4 out of 5 stars

This book follows the alphabet and gives facts about the history of Asian heritage in the United States. It was really interesting to learn how Americans have migrated from all over the world, bringing their own unique traditions.

Each page has a short rhyme that tells us something about Asian heritage, and then a much longer section with several paragraphs going more in-depth to explain the history, the origins of the tradition, or the people involved. We learn about Lunar New Year, bubble tea, anime, K-pop, etiquette, zodiac signs, and Asian cuisine. We learn about the first Asian American in outer space, the winners of the National Spelling Bee, Olympic athletes, writers, politicians, and martial artists like Bruce Lee.

I loved the beautiful illustrations in this book! The artwork is really colorful and has delicate lines.
