Yes We Will: Asian Americans Who Shaped This Country by Kelly Yang
4.0
This beautiful picture book features work from different illustrators to accompany a poem by the author, Kelly Yang. Each page spread introduces different Asian American groups or individuals that have had an impact in American history, and the book includes paragraph-length bios of them in the back.
My main critique is that the text is missing multiple commas. This bothered me from a grammatical perspective, but it also bothered me from a reader's perspective, since commas are visual cues for rhythm. Someone who is reading this aloud to children will want to take a run-through to make sure they're confident in how to pace and emphasize different phrases.
