Texas Topaz Reading ListBank Street College Best Children's Books of the YearNCSS-CBC Notable Social Studies Trade Book★ “[A] sure-to-inspire offering . . . Seeing all the accomplishments compiled in one place, in so many fields, gives the sense that history was—and is still being—made. The book itself is something of a parade of achievement, as each illustration is done by a different Asian American artist. The pages are colorful and action packed as well as poignant.” – Booklist, starred review ★ “[A] clear and concise commemoration of 200 years of accomplishments and contributions. . . . All of the art is striking. . . . [A] perfect read-aloud book. . . . Readers will learn about a variety of incredible figures, and will surely want to know more. A must-have book for all collections, offering an array of personalities and contributors under Yang’s thoughtful gaze.” – School Library Journal, starred review  ★ “Succinct text and the combined talents of diverse artists bring vibrancy and color to the portrayal of Asian American pioneers. . . .
