Have you taken the time to view “Asians, Everyday”? It’s @carlemuseum’s virtual exhibition showcasing positive Asian American representation in picture books, curated by award-winning children’s book author, illustrator, & @kidlittv Alum, Grace Lin, @pacylin, AND it is fabulous! To view the exhibition, click the link in The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art’s bio.
Reposting @carlemuseum: "I'm proud to be Asian. But even among Asians, there are those who believe in the supremacy of the West. I think this prejudice has to change. People will not treat us equally if we don't value ourselves and our own heritage. As Asians, we are part of the world. We are different from, but not “less than," others. Embracing and understanding our unique differences, and taking pride in our own cultures, will empower us to fight for equality."
--Dung Ho, Vietnamese, b. 1988
Now on view in the virtual exhibition Asians, Everyday curated by award-winning children’s book author and illustrator Grace Lin. Asians, Everyday showcases positive Asian American representation. The 26 selected artworks and books, feature contemporary characters and stories, celebrating our common humanity by depicting Asian Americans living their everyday lives.
