Last Month’s Top Instagram Posts
In September, I posted eight book reviews, half of which were related to the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you celebrated the holiday, I hope you enjoyed family time and wonderful food! Here are some highlights in case you missed them!
Mooncakes Mean Family
By Benson Shum (Penguin Workshop)
"Mooncakes Mean Family" is an adorable tale of bunny sisters, Jade and Crystal, enjoying the Mid-Autumn Festival. They help prepare mooncakes and gifts for their grandparents, culminating in a family feast and outdoor celebration under the full moon. The book skillfully weaves cultural traditions with a focus on family bonds. Read more on Instagram.
This is our House
By Hyewon Yum (Square Fish)
"This is Our House" follows a young girl as she lovingly introduces her family's home, which her grandparents settled in after immigrating. The house has witnessed generations of family milestones. More than just a building, it has become the heart of their family, a constant presence through countless seasons and transformations. Read more on Instagram.
Upcoming Giveaway
I’m hosting a giveaway for “JoJo Goes Trick-or-Treating” on my Instagram starting on October 12!
Each book in the JoJo Adventure Books series follows the delightful JoJo on new adventures and includes additional educational elements, presented bilingually in English, Cantonese, and Jyutping.
This Month’s Curated Book Lists
Here are a couple curated booklists from my Amazon Storefront that might interest you! Please note that the books shown in the graphic may not constitute the entire list as I update them on an ongoing basis.
Autumn is here! Crisp air, colorful leaves, farm trips, and Thanksgiving are my favorite parts about Autumn. These books are either specifically about the season or set during Autumn. Explore the list.
Alphabet books are a great way to introduce children to letters, but "A is for Apple" can feel a bit bland. That’s why I’ve compiled a list featuring diverse Asian authors and illustrators who’ve created alphabet books that incorporate their various cultures. These books not only teach the ABCs, but also introduce Asian American history, Asian foods, and Asian culture. Explore the list.
There are five additional alphabet books that are not available on Amazon. I've compiled the full list in this blog post.
Thank you for reading this month’s newsletter! If you missed previous editions, you can find the archives on my website.
