“Awesome Asian Americans presents an appealing, and long-overdue collection of inspirational heroes past and present.... The vibrant comic-book style illustrations by Juan Calle enhance each entry, capturing the essence of the person being profiled...” - Somerset County Library System of New Jersey Asian Lives Matter! “I enjoyed reading about these diverse celebrities and accomplished individuals. It is very important in this critical period of time for all Americans, especially young people, to recognize who Asian Americans are, and how they struggle and contribute mightily to the rich fabric of America.” – Stewart Kwoh, Founder, Asian Americans Advancing Justice “The young ones are our only hope! To get there, they'll need books like this one to learn about trailblazers who look like them. The 20 who are profiled here came from all walks of life to make an impact on our culture as artists, athletes, scientists, activists, and more. These stories can inspire the next generation to go even further than any of us imagined.” – Theodore S.
