 * SESSION DESCRIPTION ||  || Author Oliver Chin shares how his contemporary Asian American children’s books enrich students, teachers, and parents. His popular series //Tales from the Chinese Zodiac// (The Year of the Dragon) dovetail perfectly with annual New Year celebrations. Other stories address key classroom themes such as the value of ethnic-identity (//Sora & the Cloud//), character building (//Julie Black Belt//), and team work (//The Treehouse Heroes, The Octonauts//). Plus the topics of sports (//The Tao of Yao: Insights from Basketball’s Brightest Big Man//), and graphic novels (//9 of 1: A Window to the World//) can engage middle and high schoolers, and provide rich opportunities for class discussion, group activities, and self-exploration.
