In honor of AAPI month, here is a round-up of books that explore the Asian American<\/em> experience and have protagonists that are Asian American. These books explore identity, assimilation, self-discovery and belonging. <\/p>\n\n\n

I tried to keep this list filled with various stories but acknowledge that there are so many different cultures within the \u201cAsian American\u201d umbrella. So, there will be more book lists in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n

But for now, I hope you enjoy the AAPI books on this list!<\/p>\n\n\n
