SLC’s Educator Guides bring you a go-to set of curated resources, lesson plans, and author insights to help you introduce and share quality literature with your students and teachers. Books are selected by SLC’s editing team based on advanced copies of the titles and reviews from their school librarian reviewers.
Set against the backdrop of the Chinese Exclusion Act, on a logging camp in the Sierra Nevadas in 1885, The Legend of Auntie Po by Shing Yin Khor (Penguin Random House 2021) follows the story of Mei, the daughter of the head camp cook and a gifted storyteller. Through Mei’s friendship with Bee, the daughter of the camp foreman, the experiences of Mei’s family and other families on the camp, and through Mei’s storymaking, the narrative explores what it means to remake a myth that reflects more fully the experiences of marginalized peoples.
