Each May, Asian Heritage Month is celebrated in Canada, and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is observed in the United States. For both countries, this is a time to recognize the culture and achievements of people of Asian and Pacific descent, and honour their diverse stories. Several of those stories are reflected here, in this wide selection of books that shine a light on the experiences and histories of Asian and Pacific Islander communities and individuals.
