Today's guest is Joanna Ho, the best-selling author whose children's books cover topics such as familial roots, oppression and justice, and the importance of representation—especially for fellow Asian Americans. After years of rejection, her first book, Eyes That Kiss In The Corners, became an instant New York Times Best-Seller in 2021. She's gone on to publish 9 other books for children and young adults, including her most recent release, We Who Produce Pearls: An Anthem For Asian America.Written in her signature lyrical style, the book covers the rich, nuanced, and incredibly diverse history of Asians in America and includes a very detailed section in the back that urges children and adults to go deeper with guiding questions and additional research. In today's conversation, we talk to Joanna about finding strength in becoming a single mom, embracing the beauty in her Asian American identity, the power of representation in kid-lit, the devastation of book bans sweeping across the country, and her ultimate goal of sparking revolutions—both big and small.

In this episode, we celebrate the 35th anniversary of Reach Out and Read and an uplifting new book collection. Marty Martinez, the nonprofit's CEO, and Judy Newman, Chief Impact Officer at Scholastic, talk with host Suzanne McCabe about 35 for 35—a new, curated collection of titles for young children. A joint venture between Reach Out and Read and Scholastic, with help from several other publishers, the 35 for 35 project will distribute 350,000 free books to children ages five and under during their well-child visits. The books celebrate the vibrant neighborhoods and diverse cultures of the children who are served by Reach Out and Read. Kids will be introduced to titles by acclaimed and emerging authors and illustrators, including poet Nikki Giovanni, basketball great LeBron James, and writer and educator Joanna Ho. “Evidence shows that if children are exposed to books and reading through their pediatric well-child visits,” Marty says, “they're more likely to get read to at home. They're more likely to spend time with their parents or caregivers connecting over a book.” As Chief Executive Officer of Reach Out and Read, Marty leads the Boston-based nonprofit's vast network, which includes more than 6,000 program sites in all 50 states and nearly 30 regional, state, and local affiliates. He has spent decades working on behalf of young people and families in underserved communities across the Boston area. Most recently, as the city's Chief of Health and Human Services, Marty led Boston through some of the most acute challenges posed by the pandemic. In her role as Chief Impact Officer at Scholastic, Judy helps to ensure equal access to books and literacy for all children through partnerships with nonprofits and other organizations. She currently serves on several boards, including at Reach Out and Read and the Ruby Bridges Foundation, where she is Board President. For many years, Judy led the iconic Scholastic Reading Club, aka the Book Clubs. She is known fondly in the office as our Reader-in-Chief. During the pandemic, Judy went back to school, earning a master's degree at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. → Resources Reach Out and Read: For 35 years, the Boston-based nonprofit has helped millions of young families across the country access literacy through well-child visits. 35 for 35: Learn more about this free, curated book collection, a collaboration between Reach Out and Read and Scholastic. → Highlights Marty Martinez, CEO, Reach Out and Read “The mission of Reach Out and Read is to provide opportunities and moments for children and their parents to have shared moments of connection and bonding through reading.” “We're a very simple model that integrates early literacy and books into well-child visits for our children five and under all across the United States.” “A child learns to read and then reads to learn.” “It opens doors not only for a child but for a whole family when you focus on early literacy.” Judy Newman, Chief Impact Officer, Scholastic “Programs like these don't happen unless someone leads the charge.” “Twelve publishers from across the publishing industry contributed titles to [35 for 35].” “For American democracy to continue, we have to have literacy.” → Special Thanks Producer: Maxine Osa Sound engineer: Daniel Jordan Music composer: Lucas Elliot Eberl → Coming Soon Bad Guys Author Aaron Blabey Talks About Cat on the Run When We Flew Away: Author Alice Hoffman Discusses Her New Novel About Anne Frank Before the Diary

September 26, 2023 - Joanna Ho
A powerful companion picture book about adoption and family written by New York Times bestselling author Joanna Ho,( Eyes that Kiss in the Corners), and( Eyes That Speak to the Stars) and award-winning author/educator Liz Kleinrock, a transracial adoptee.Her family bond is deep and their connection is filled with love. She wonders about her birth mom and comes to appreciate both her birth culture and her adopted family's culture, for even though they may seem very different, they are both a part of her, and that is what makes her beautiful. She learns to appreciate the differences in her family and celebrate them.
In February, love is in the air. . . and on the air, as we hear of books with different takes on love. Laurie Dreyer, manager of the (currently under renovation) Lansingburgh branch of Troy Public Library tells us of four kids books. "Eyes That Kiss in the Corners" (Joanna Ho, ill. Dung Ho, 2021) tells of an Asian girl who realizes that her eyes differ from her classmates but resemble her mother's and grandmother's, helping her love them and herself more. "Hair Love" (Matthew A. Cherry, ill. Vashti Harrison, 2019) shows a father loving his daughter by helping her arrange her hair in a natural style. "Worm Loves Worm" (J. J. Austrian, ill. Mike Curato, 2016) brings the most basic story of one being loving another being. And "Anzu the Great Kaiju" (Benson Shum, 2022) shows a kaiju -- a large creature similar to Mothra or Godzilla -- torn between wanting to honor his parents by destroying a city yet discovering he loves the little people too much to do so. For more details on these and other books, visit www.thetroylibrary.org. To find other libraries in New York State, see https://www.nysl.nysed.gov/libdev/libs/#Find.

Joanna Ho is a New York Times bestselling and award winning author who has written a number of picture books, including Eyes that Kiss in the Corners, Eyes that Speak to the Stars, and Playing at the Border, which received numerous distinguished awards, including the Golden Kite Award, an Ezra Jack Keats Honor, and a Golden Poppy Award. Most recently, she published her first young adult novel, The Silence that Binds Us, which just received the Asian/Pacific American Award from American Library Association. In this episode, Joanna shares her personal evolution from being an educator and advocate for anti-bias, anti-racism, and equity work to becoming a full-time writer, novelist, and best-selling author with a mission of elevating AAPI representation through literature and picture books. It was inspiring to learn that her racial awakening at Camp Anytown in high school inspired her passion to devote herself to public education, which had an underrepresentation of AAPI. She also shared with us her journey to becoming a best-selling and award-winning author, after years of rejection and having written several unpublished books before landing her first acceptance.

Continuing our "Storytime with Maceo," we read one of Maceo's FAVORITE books, Playing at the Border: A Story of Yo-Yo Ma. It is written by Joanna Ho, illustrated by Teresa Martinez. It is a wonderful story of cellist Yo-Yo Ma's efforts to build bridges between people and countries, to draw out empathy and compassion for others in times of ethnic and political strife. It is beautifully written, with lyrical phrasing and poetry that lifts off the page, and illustrations that capture the heart and not let it go.OUR SOCIALS:Twitter: https://twitter.com/FatherSonGalaxyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fathersongalaxyFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FatherSonGalaxyWebsite: https://fathersongalaxy.com/Media Kit: https://fathersongalaxy.com/media-kit-2/Our merchandise store is NOW OPEN!Visit our website at https://fathersongalaxy.myspreadshop.com

To say I'm obsessed with New York Times bestselling author Joanna Ho's novel “The Silence That Binds Us” is an understatement. Yes, it's a book technically written for young adults, but it's also one adults need to read — because not only is it a beautiful story of grief, but it is also an impactful story about anti-racism. I had the privilege of interviewing Joanna recently and talking to her about “The Silence That Binds Us” and specifically the lessons it teaches about Black and Asian solidarity. And just as much as “The Silence That Binds Us” is a book you don't want to miss, this interview is one you'll want to tune into as well! In this episode, Joanna and I discuss: Her process in writing “The Silence That Binds Us.” What Black and Asian solidarity looks like. The power of stories in anti-racism work. What we can do about book banning in our communities. Joanna Ho is the New York Times bestselling and award-winning author “Eyes that Kiss in the Corners” and “Eyes that Speak to the Stars.” She has extensive experience as an educator (she's previously worked as an English teacher, a dean, the designer of an alternative-to-prison program, a creator of educator professional development, and a high school vice principal) and is passionate about anti-bias and anti-racism work. Joanna lives in the Bay Area where she enjoys chocolate chip cookies, being outside and having dance parties with her two kiddos. Join us for a Policy Party You know what anti-racism looks like in your home, now let's take it into our communities!

In a star-packed panel to celebrate the culmination of Reading is Fundamental's Rally to Read, Alicia Levi, Orion Jean, Dr. Monica Brown, and Joanna Ho join host Mike Palmer in a roundtable discussion of the importance of reading and how representation matters when it comes to the stories we tell. We highlight the books Orion, Monica, and Jeannie have written and how they share common themes that are critical trends in children's literature these days. Orion talks about how he maintains balance as Time's Kid of the Year, an author of A Kids Book About Leadership, and an avid reader. We hear the story of Marisol McDonald Doesn't Match by Dr. Brown who wrote the story in part for her children so they could read about people like them. Joanna builds on this explaining how she felt invisible due to the omission of people like her in the stories she learned from as a child. This has led her to write books like Playing at the Border: A Story of Yo-Yo Ma and Eyes That Kiss in the Corners. We conclude with each panelist's perspectives on the world of literacy and Kid Lit as we gear up for RIF's Reading Inspires webcast on March 2nd with Read Alouds from authors like the ones on our panel.

Authors Joanna Ho and Lisa Moore Ramée want young readers of all backgrounds to see themselves in stories. In her debut children's book “Eyes that Kiss in the Corners,” Ho tells the story of a child's love of her Asian eyes. In her new picture book, “Playing at the Border: A Story of Yo-Yo Ma,” Ho highlights world-famous cellist, immigration and the way music can build bridges between different communities. Ramée's young adult novels “A Good Kind of Trouble” and “Something to Say” both center young Black girl protagonists who embark on journeys to find their voices and what it means to stand for something, in your own life or in the community. Ho and Ramée recently joined us for a FORUM LIVE event to talk about the shared themes in their stories of identity, self acceptance and finding one's voice.
