It's #AsianHeritageMonth, and @booksandboba is hosting another #AsianBooksChallenge. For 2021, they are asking people to share books by authors of Asian descent or author's names for each letter of the alphabet. Here are my picks for early chapter books and middle grade. I've read them all and would definitely recommend them.
