This sequel continues the critically-acclaimed graphic novel Awesome Asian Americans! Learn about 20 more trailblazers who have enriched the USA.

This diverse cast includes historic trailblazers (actor George Takei, author Amy Tan) to current celebrities (singer Bruno Mars, athlete Chloe Kim), from a spectrum of vocations and cultures (violinist Midori, inventor Amar Bose).

Learn key chapters of U.S. history not covered in school, and the amazing deeds of these pioneers. Challenged by discrimination and bias, these stars pushed forward to impact society and motivated others to do likewise.

Kids and adults will enjoy discovering a rainbow of role models. Teachers and librarians will appreciate this useful, groundbreaking anthology. Each profile will inspire the next generation to pursue their passions and make a difference.

Each 6 page chapter features 3 dynamic drawings. Artist Juan Calle’s 60 spectacular color illustrations invigorate these relevant and meaningful portraits.

Industry Reviews

"More Awesome Asian Americans is an excellent resource for both children and adults alike. It allows readers to discover new heroes and gain inspiration from the important contributions made by AAPI individuals in bettering our country. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about the diverse and impactful history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in America."

"I am happy to recommend More Awesome Asian Americans because it honestly brings to the fore the lives and accomplishments of 20 extraordinary people who persevered despite facing challenges from war, poverty, business failures, their Asian heritage, and in some cases their gender. The book serves as a motivating and inspiring read for any teen who has ever considered giving up when the going gets tough."
