Our children learn by reading us

​"A thoughtful and optimistic work of healing wisdom." -Kirkus Book Review

​
We believe that learning & living out racial justice starts at home, including on our bookshelves. That is why we wrote and illustratrated, We Are Gems: Healing from Anti-Asian Microaggressions through Self-love & Solidarity (ages 8+).

We Are Gems helps readers to critically question microaggressions against Asian Americans while embracing one's heritage and supporting Black and Indigenous-led movements for healing and justice. It is a joyous celebration of Asian Americans and our history.
