KISS PAPERCUTS GOODBYE is a bold, immersive experience that reclaims the historical influence of Asian women and teens around the world who empowered themselves—and others—with permission and confidence to pierce through their confines.
“This is a book that I desperately needed as an Asian American immigrant girl, and still need as an adult! I learned so much and was deeply inspired by each story.”
“It brings me so much hope and joy to know that children are now growing up and learning about these amazing women that look like them.”
“This imaginative and gorgeous book will galvanize young people to change their lives and change the world . . . At this book’s passionate core is a belief in solidarity and transformation.”
A full-color book that pairs bold illustrations and exceptional storytelling. Each chapter introduces a group of pioneers who’ve freed themselves—and others—little by little. We'll see how these pioneers used their personal struggles to make a change during pivotal historical periods, like World War II and the Civil Rights Movement, building towards an abundant future for all.
Readers will discover their own power within to exercise self-determination through our signature "Let's learn about it" and “Let’s talk about it!” sections, where readers can connect with a loved one to discuss their thoughts out loud or can use it as a journaling prompt to reflect on their response in confidence.
With every chapter you read, you’ll feel empowered and inspired to take action. With 58% of Americans in 2022 unable to name a single prominent Asian American*, the time is now to close this representation gap, so that you can cultivate the confidence to reach for the stars.
