Happy AAPI Heritage Month-and Happy Little Free Library Day!
It's always my tradition to celebrate these incredible heritage months by giving a shout out to some amazing stories (this time by AAPI authors featuring AAPI main characters) and then donating them to a Little Free Library! And since today is Little Free Library day it seemed like the perfect time to share.
Also: I somehow missed that last month was National Arab American Heritage Month, so I'm including a couple of books by Arab American Authors featuring Arab American characters.
Basically, it's the most book love I could fit into one of those cozy little libraries!
In case you can't tell from the pictures, the books (from top to bottom) are:
RED, WHITE, and WHOLE, by @/rajanilarocca
GIRL GIANT AND THE MONKEY KING, by @/iamvanhoang
EVA EVERGREEN, SEMI MAGICAL WITCH, by @/julieabebooks

If you aren't one of the lucky readers who finds the copies I'm donating, I absolutely recommend tracking these books down, either from your favorite local bookstore or a local library. You won't be disappointed! And if you know any other books you'd like to spread some love for to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month and Arab American Heritage Month, feel free to give them a shout out in the comments!
