Meet ten young artists, storytellers, and cartoonists with a diverse range of stories to share. Hear directly from these students as they draw their way through reflections on identity, gender, cuisine, and friendship. Each story is rich with writing and graphics whether its a heartfelt entry on growing up, a culinary journey across Vietnam, or a thrilling tale with pandas and helicopters.

From the publisher: “During the summer of 2023, ten young people from AALEAD came together to create this zine centering Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) stories. In collaboration with Shout Mouse Press story coaches and professional comics artists, they drew and wrote comics centering AAPI identities in diverse, authentic, accessible ways that affirm other AAPI young people, increase understanding, and foster an inclusive next generation.”
