Summary
It's always interesting to discuss about mixed-race. From beloved writer and artist Kip Fulbeck, author of Part Asian, 100% Hapa, this timely collection of portraits celebrates the faces and voices of mixed-race children. At a time when 7 million people in the U.S. alone identify as belonging to more than one race, interest in issues of multiracial identity is rapidly growing. Overflowing with uplifting elements—including charming images, handwritten statements from the children, first-person text from their parents, a foreword by Dr. Maya Soetoro-Ng (President Obama's sister), and an afterword by international star Cher (who is part Cherokee)—this volume is an inspiring vision of the future.

Pros
Thien-Kim Lam shared her experiences after reading this book, she said she loved this philosophy. She spoke that we should focus on who the kids are as a person, and not label them by their racial and ethnic make-up. She also in love when Kip photographs multiracial kids, and asked them to write or draw their answer to “Who are you?” Most kids’ first thought has nothing to do with their racial identity. Hapa, a Hawaiin word, means of mixed blood, person of mixed blood. We could see a video about his view about being multi-racial and his process behind the book. She loved this book because it portrays so many beautiful multi-racial children. Kip Fulbeck captures them as regular kids. He’s not highlighting their ethnic background. One kid is sipping chocolate milk. Another is in full ballerina gear, tutu and all. One girl is having a staring contest with her Elmo toy. Everyday kid stuff. [4] Retrieved January 25th, 2021
This book described a delightful, compact book of color photographs featuring multiracial children, some of whom are a veritable jambalaya of cultures (Cambodian-French-Romanian-Scottish-Native American-African American). These lovely faces remind me of the many kids we usually see at work and walking down the street. It is a good reminder, too, never to take a face for value. [5] Retrieved January 25th, 2021
