Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) is an umbrella term that refers to any person of Asian or Pacific Island descent or ancestry. This list contains books from a tiny fraction of countries from the AAPI list, and an even tinier fraction of experiences within those countries. The worlds in them are written and illustrated with a whole lot of heart, and I hope you enjoy reading them. However, as someone who is not fond of reducing a deeply diverse range of experiences, cultures, languages, and history into an acronym, I hope that as a reader, you see them as a tiny starting point. I encourage you to seek stories that belong to countries, communities, and individuals, and not just to a category.
