I met Hai Ahn Vu through the Families Embracing Diversity Conference when she interviewed me. We talked about representation and how important it is for children to see themselves reflected back both in books AND toys.
Today she is sharing some of her favorite diverse Asian-themed toys, including her own Vietnamese-themed quiet books. What are your favorite Asian-themed toys? Thanks for sharing!
