A Boy Named Isamu
Awarded an Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature Picture Book Honor, this stunning picture book brings to life the imagination of Japanese American artist, Isamu Noguchi. (Cover image may vary.) If you are Isamu, stones are the most special of all. How can they be so heavy? Would they float if they had no weight? Winner of the Theordor Seuss Geisel Award in 2020 for Stop! Bot!, James Yang imagines a day in the boyhood of Japanese American artist, Isamu Noguchi. Wandering through an outdoor market, through the forest, and then by the ocean, Isamu sees things through the eyes of a young artist . . .but also in a way that many children will relate. Stones look like birds. And birds look like stones. Through colorful artwork and exquisite text, Yang translates the essence of Noguchi so that we can all begin to see as an artist sees.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up in Hong Kong, and was always an outsider because of my Chinese heritage. I was always the smallest and weakest kid in my Ping-Pong league, but I still won awards. I felt like an imposter, and when I moved to America, I had to practice fitting in. #2 I have a four-character Chinese name and an English nickname, Jimmy. My family name is a rare two-character last name, , Ou Yang, and my given name is , Man Shing, which means ten thousand successes in Chinese. #3 Chinese families are extremely dependent on food, and this was especially true for my family. I was always responsible for cooking the rice, and my dad was extremely critical of how it was cooked. If I cooked it wrong, it would mean the death of the entire five-course meal. #4 I grew up watching American action movies, and I was obsessed with all the larger-than-life American action heroes: Arnold, Stallone, Seagal, and Van Damme. I was sure I would never be able to love again after my dad brought home three pet chicks and took one of them away.
Koreatown
A New York Times bestseller and one of the most praised Korean cookbooks of all time, you'll explore the foods and flavors of Koreatowns across America through this collection of 100 recipes. This is not your average "journey to Asia" cookbook. Koreatown is a spicy, funky, flavor-packed love affair with the grit and charm of Korean cooking in America. Koreatowns around the country are synonymous with mealtime feasts and late-night chef hangouts, and Deuki Hong and Matt Rodbard show us why through stories, interviews, and over 100 delicious, super-approachable recipes. It's spicy, it's fermented, it's sweet and savory and loaded with umami: Korean cuisine is poised to break out in the U.S., but until now, the cookbooks have been focused on taking readers on an idealized Korean journey. Koreatown, though, is all about what's real and happening right here: the foods of Korean American communities all over our country, from L.A. to New York City, from Atlanta to Chicago. We follow Rodbard and Hong through those communities with stories and recipes for everything from beloved Korean barbecue favorites like bulgogi and kalbi to the lesser-known but deeply satisfying stews, soups, noodles, salads, drinks, and the many kimchis of the Korean American table.
