There’s no better way to kick off May, than spotlighting some of our favorite children’s books by Asian, Asian- American, and Pacific Islander authors. Throughout Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, we’ll be celebrating the rich culture, history, and achievements of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Here’s a look at a few books that would be perfect for kids and preteens. 

This May, join the Pratt Library in celebrating children’s creativity and imagination with exciting programs all month long. This year, we are spotlighting Everywhere, Wonder by Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr. This heartfelt picture book explores the wonder in the world, while encouraging young minds to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary, and creatively share their stories with others. Check out the book from your local branch or download the eBook from the Pratt’s eLibrary!

Save the date for these fun programs!

Get inspired by the dynamic women spotlighted through Nonfiction this April. Stop by one of the Pratt locations to pick up a copy or visit our eLibrary that is always open. Happy reading!
