Key Selling Points: A timely story that speaks to the rise of Asian hate in North America, with the goal of encouraging young people to support each other. Children from Asian backgrounds will recognise themselves, their communities and issues in this story. Children and readers who are not from Asian backgrounds can gain a new perspective for how this issue deeply impacts families and communities. Anti-Asian hate crimes have risen exponentially since 2020 and have received a lot of media attention, yet there are very few resources to help children discuss it. The story and the vibrant illustrations showcase the beauty and importance of Asian markets and Asian foods in North America, close to the heart of both author Phuong Truong and illustrator Christine Wei.
