Linden Tree Book is thrilled to host New York Times bestselling author Joanna Ho and artist/activist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya on Sunday, April 21 at 6pm to celebrate their dynamic new picture book, We Who Produce Pearls: An Anthem for Asian America. This event will be held at 129 1st Street in downtown Los Altos (next to Hyperspace).
As only she can, Joanna Ho creates a poetic ode that celebrates Asian American communities and their history. We Who Produce Pearls is an anthem for Asian America that celebrates the richness and diversity within the Asian American identity and serves as a reminder of our self worth, our legacy and most of all, our destiny.
Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya’s signature bright and bold palette brings to light the strength and power within us all, creating a mesmerizing, stunning, and magical masterpiece that proves how we can shape our pain and struggle into one of joy and power. Together, Joanna and Amanda remind readers to rise up, speak out, and step into power.
With illustrations and mentions of Shi Yang, George Shima, Moksad Ali, the Atlanta spa shooting victims, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Anna May Wong, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Eddie Van Halen, Amanda Nguyen, Helen Zia, and so many more, We Who Produce Pearls is the perfect starting place to learn more about Asian Americans throughout history and in current events.
