 Absolutely Stunning and Much Needed! July 7, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I've never come across a book like this and I've looked for one all my life. Having grown up Hapa in the midwest in th 60's I often felt like I was the only one around. Then when my family moved to Hawaii (my dad is Caucasian military, my mom Chinese) in my teens I realized that what I had been missing all along was a community.
Part Asian 100% Hapa gives you that. It gives you a sense that you are not alone and that everyone is dealing with the same struggles of fitting in and finding out who we are. I'm 46 now and I showed it to my daughter who is 7 and she loves it as much as me especially the pics of other kids. She doesn't think about race and that's great. She just likes the book because it's about people being who they are (and she thinks it's funny too). I get tired of all the race talk and about who is this and that. This book is just honest and down to earth.
I also saw the accompanying photo show at the Japanese American National Museum in L.A. and it is phenomenal.
It moved me... September 7, 2006

I am 1/2 Japanese, 1/4 Scottish and 1/4 American. This book made me cry. It's wonderful.

I wish everyone in New York could see this book, understand it, and stop calling me and people like me "Chinese" (I am half Japanese and half a mix of French, Irish, Swedish, Cherokee and Navahoe). This book should also be given to all the mixed people out there who deny anything but their minority side (e.g., Halle Berry calling herself "Black"). Let's all start realizing that mixing races and cultures is a HEALTHY thing, and to stop denying the parts of ourselves that are "different"! We are all humans on this planet, plain and simple.
So Great!!!! August 1, 2006

This book is great for all of the Hapa's of the world. The photos are real people, no airbrushing, no runway models. They are beautiful people of mixed race. My daughter is a Hapa so I wanted her to grow up with the book in the house so she can be proud of her mix.
Finally!!! November 9, 2006
