AANHPI Next Gen Stories - 2024 TAAF Heritage Month Summit

AANHPI characters are historically underrepresented in children’s books, yet the tide is turning thanks to a new wave of Asian American authors. Through their vibrant and inspiring stories, they’re building belonging and celebrating our collective heritage. Bestselling authors will share why inclusive storytelling matters more now than ever before, and how role models in youth literature impact how children see themselves in today’s world.
