About this listen

An exquisite audiobook about Asian American history, identity, and pride. We Are American, Too features sound design and special effects to enhance your listening enjoyment. Listen out for the cheers of the crowd and the sounds of my families past!

Mei is a young Chinese American girl filled with curiosity about her family’s history in Washington, D.C. Delving into their tales of courage, hope, and resilience, Mei explores the strength and spirit that unites her Chinese heritage with her American identity.

Then Mei finds herself at a rally against Asian hate and she realizes that it is her time to make a difference. Armed with the inspiring stories of her ancestors and backed by the unconditional support of her family, Mei takes center stage to start an empowering chant, “We are American, too!”

We Are American, Too takes young listeners on a stirring journey with Mei, confronting anti-Asian hate, and igniting unity with a rousing call to celebrate our shared American identity.

A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
