How Do You Say Your Last Name? is a coloring book that explores the experiences of growing up as a first-generation Asian kid in America. From the “lunchbox moment” to high expectations from your immigrant parents, balancing cultures isn’t easy. What does “Asian-American” even mean anyway? Grab some crayons and ponder the duality of the two as you put yourself in the shoes of every other Asian kid having an identity crisis.
