September Staff Picks: More Than a Monolith

“The Model Minority Myth is the overwhelming shadow of Asian identities that monolithically groups the Asian identity into one stereotypical idea of "perfection." However, this collection of children's books aims to dismantle this monolithic myth to disaggregate the Asian identity and showcase the different lived experiences of ethnic identities across the Asian continent. These are just a few of the many stories out there that illustrate the beauty, resilience, and cultural uniqueness of many Asian ethnic communities. We encourage you to explore with empathy and love for the stories shared as they captivate their own separate unique challenges and celebrations of their respective cultures and identities.”
