Two immigrant parents tell their daughter Mei all the reasons she is unique and wonderful and golden.
A tribute to the immigrant experience and first generation children.

I Am Golden is a book about the beauty and power of a young girl named Mei. Mei may be different from other children, but her family is there to support and empower her as a person. Mei has a golden flame inside her that is different from everyone else. That flame is what makes her unique and powerful. I would love to have this book in my future classroom because of the incredible message it brings. I would use it as an empowering message for any student that may not feel represented of that they belong in the classroom.

Beautiful and honest. An absolute joy, inspiring and a must read. The words and the art are equally inspiring.

A sweet love letter from a parent to child as an ode to the author’s parents. Could be a great model to ask students to write about their own families and what parts of them they carry inside that makes them golden, too.

This book showed the beauty of Asian American culture and children. It’s essentially a love letter from parents to a little girl, and I thought it was precious. I would have this in my classroom as a positive outlook on different cultures and their family dynamics

the illustrations are pretty, but again i think the audience is intended for a much younger one than i thought? and the message feels simplified.
