But when Comrade Li, one of Mao’s political officers, moves into a room in their apartment, Ling begins to witness the gradual disintegration of her world. In an atmosphere of increasing mistrust, Ling fears for the safety of her neighbors and, soon, for herself and family. Over the course of four years, Ling manages to grow and blossom, even as she suffers more horrors than many people face in a lifetime.Drawing from her childhood experience, Ying Chang Compestine brings hope and humor to this compelling story for all ages about a girl fighting to survive during the Cultural Revolution in China. I have been looking for books for our literature curriculum written by and based on Asian cultures. Unfortunately, it isnt terribly easy to find something that both fits those categories and is a worthwhile book to read in class with middle school students. Oh, there are books out there, but so many of them are written by American or European authors about Asian cultures.

    Asian American Pacific Islander Booklist from the Bank Street College of Education’s Children’s Book Committee (CBC) 2021 Crimes against people of Asian/Pacific Islander descent have been gaining in frequency, in violence, and in breadth of Asian ethnic groups targeted. Those of us who have Asian roots know well that systemic discrimination against Asians in the U.S. is by no means a new phenomenon. It goes all the way back to the 1800s, when Chinese laborers started arriving in numbers to work, first in Gold Rush jobs, then on the Transcontinental Railroad. For grown-ups of all races who are having conversations with children to expand inquiry and empathy among Asian and non-Asian peoples, we offer a selection of books from the CBC Best Books of the Year, organized by age with child development in mind. Please note that this is not intended to be a comprehensive list.

  • One-Dish Meals from Ying Chang Compestine
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | One-Dish Meals from Ying Chang Compestine Published October 12th, 2011 One-Dish Meals from Ying Chang Compestine By Susie Iventosch I fell in love with Ying Chang Compestine's new cookbook, Ying's Best One-Dish Meals, before reading a single recipe. As a mom of three kids who've all left the nest, the loving dedication to her son, Vinson, had me hooked. "To my dear son, Vinson, Ming Da, I will miss you so much when you go to college!" In my book, family is what cooking is all about, and Compestine has a wonderful flair for creating easy, fresh, home-cooked meals for a family on the go. Her recipes are tasty, colorful and full of locally available ingredients. Both of the recipes I tried were delicious: Black Rice with Cranberries, Carrots and Ginger, and Pan-seared Salmon with Lemon-Dill Yogurt Sauce. "This is not a cookbook just for adults," Compestine mentioned. "It really is a book for the whole family." Ever mindful of healthy eating choices, her focus on nutrition and healthy lifestyle not only benefits readers, but her own active family, as well. Her husband, Greg, is a distance cyclist, and Vinson is a highly ranked cross-country runner, while Ying immerses herself in competitive badminton to stay in shape. Compestine learned to cook by helping her Nai Nai (grandmother) in the kitchen, but she confesses her primary motivation was to get to the food before her two brothers did! She didn't develop a passion for cooking until she moved to this country for graduate school.
