We’re continuing our celebration of AANHPI Heritage Month with this week’s theme: family stories! So often, at the heart of cultural pride, tradition, and identity is family: elder generations pass down their memories and customs, while newer generations carry their family’s hopes as they forge new paths of their own.

Here are a few picture books that we’ve enjoyed recently that spotlight AANHPI families: what are some of yours?
