Fighting to Belong!
"Historic contributions and stories of resilience are shared in this dynamic graphic novel. An informative and engaging read!"—Maia and Alex Shibutani, two-time Olympic medalists and authors of Amazing: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Who Inspire Us AllAsian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander history is American history. The unique experiences, challenges, and contributions of AANHPIs are an integral part of our country’s development, but they are rarely taught in American schools.Even today, over 70% of Americans have little knowledge about AANHPI history or confuse it with Asian history. Yet, according to The Asian American Foundation, better education about AANHPI history in K–12 schools is one of the best ways to combat racism. Fighting to Belong! Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander History, 1900–1970, written by bestselling writer Amy Chu (Wonder Woman, Deadpool, Ant-Man, Iron Man), Alexander Chang, and The Asian American Education Project and illustrated by Louie Chin (Bodega Cat), shares this important and dynamic part of the American experience in an accessible and engaging graphic novel format. In this book, the second volume of a three-book series, our middle school protagonists Padmini, Sammy, Joe, and Tiana and their guide, Kenji, and his grandfather, Frankie, embark on an amazing journey through time to witness key events in AANHPI history, from the Philippine-American War to the incarceration of some 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II.Fighting to Belong! Volume II helps new audiences young and old, AANHPI and non-AANHPI, understand how these stories are truly interwoven within the fabric of America.

For the next two decades, he worked to make this idea a reality. There was no stadium, pool, or running track anywhere in British Mandate Palestine. But Yosef wasn?t deterred.There was one big problem left: there was no easy way to tell athletes about the games!The solution: Motorcycles. Riding thousands of miles, over mountains and through deserts, motorcycle brigades announced the games to the world Jewish community. In 1932, the Maccabiah Games were born.
Neexistujú hlúpe otázky
Brilantne spracovaná kniha nevšedných otázok a odpovedí, ktoré overili prvotriedni odborníci z Cambridgeskej univerzity.
Hlúpe, pochabé a zbytočné otázky neexistujú. Teda existujú, no len vtedy, ak slová v nich nedávajú zmysel. Niekedy sa bojíme, že ak položíme nesprávnu otázku, ostatní si pomyslia, že nevieme, o čom hovoríme. Keby sa však nikto na nič nepýtal, nikto by ani netušil, o čom ostatní hovoria. Preto sa pýtajte! A keď dostanete odpoveď, pýtajte sa ďalej. Ľudstvo dosiahlo najväčšie pokroky práve vďaka tomu, že kládlo otázky a usilovalo sa nájsť odpovede.
Táto vtipná kniha obsahuje celý rad tém od vedy, techniky, inžinierstva a matematiky až po evolúciu, zoológiu a históriu. Odpovedá na 213 najnezvyčajnejších a najzaujímavejších otázok. Môžete ju čítať od začiatku až do konca alebo ju môžete otvoriť na náhodnej strane. Ak hľadáte informácie o niečom konkrétnom, na konci nájdete zoznam otázok podľa oblastí.
Pre čitateľov od 8 rokov
