YES WE WILL Asian Americans Who Shaped This Country

Sura Siu narrates this picture book highlighting the accomplishments of 18 famous Asian Americans. The musicians, politicians, athletes, and others range from designer Vera Wang to architect I.M. Pei. Asian-Americans have made their mark on the U.S. in many fields. The audiobook consists of a simple sentence about each person--their name, an action verb, and the reason for their action. This likely works well in print with the benefit of images; however, in audio, it sounds a bit like a list. The best section of the audio version is the extensive author's note, which includes additional Asian-American history and more detailed biographical sketches. Siu's uplifting tone suggests pride and promise. L.T. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
