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. Learn how Immedium’s children’s books invigorate traditional subject matter, and inspire students to learn and create.
