by Alice Tsui
In “We Are Golden 我们是金的”, an American born Chinese girl encounters racism in the music classroom. Through processing the emotions of this moment, the girl sees her pain transform into a powerful reflection of herself, her identity, and her community. Together with melody in music, we take a journey with the girl and the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community to shine brightly in our world.

Alice Tsui has made a wonderful book which my children adore. It’s awesome how many object are clickable, giving children (and adults) the chance to learn words in Mandarin Chinese.

I am so happy that this book exists. My students loved to hear the narrations, see the illustrations, and learn the beautiful, singable melody. We were able to use the story as a springboard to talk about lived experiences, and to start a conversation about how words matter. I know I’ll be using this book for years to come, especially with all the layers to dig into. I definitely recommend this book!
