This is our last week checking out books from the library – I can’t believe the year is almost over! And May is also Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, so I thought I would read a couple of books that fit this month. Both books help students appreciate the experiences of Asian Americans – their heritage, their desire to fit into American culture, and the insensitivity they sometimes face. Grades K-3 will hear the first story and grades 4-5 will hear Watercress, which won the Caldecott Award this year and also a Newbery Honor award as well.
