The Legend of Auntie Po

"Set in a Sierra Nevada logging camp three years after the Chinese Exclusion Act was signed into law, The Legend of Auntie Po focuses on 13-year-old Mei. As a Chinese kid, Mei is exposed to the racial tumult created by the law, and she copes by telling stories about the legendary Auntie Po and her giant blue water buffalo, Pei Pei. Written and illustrated by Shing Yin Khor, Auntie Po is a really sweet book that centers nonwhite Americans within American history. The art is lovely and accessible for young readers, and there’s plenty to enjoy for older comics enthusiasts too. (For ages 10 and up)"
