Yes We Will: Asian Americans Who Shaped This Country by Kelly Yang

5.0

I read this book while also listening to the audiobook version, and I really enjoyed the experience. The illustrations are so beautiful and evoke strong emotions. I think books like this that have representation are so incredibly important. I also appreciated the author’s notes at the end of the book that gave more information about each of the highlighted Asian Americans. There were quite a number of individuals who I didn’t know anything about them or how they have shaped the United States. As I was reading this book, I sat waiting in a doctors office wearing a N95 mask and learning for the first time about Peter Tsai, the inventor of the N95 mask filter, and I felt such a deep and personal appreciation for him and his invention. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
