AMAH FARAWAY is about reconnecting with faraway family and roots in your inherited culture. Growing up immersed in mainstream American culture, I felt somewhat disconnected from my roots. Only now, after having children of my own, have I realized the importance of connecting with and finding joy in our inherited culture especially since, as Asian Americans, we wear our heritage on the outside.
—Margaret Chiu Greanias, author of AMAH FARAWAY, illus. Tracy Subisak (Bloomsbury Children’s, 2022)
