Eva Chen, the author of Juno Valentine and the Magical Shoes and A Is for Awesome, is a first-generation Chinese-American who grew up in New York City.

She is currently the head of fashion partnerships at Instagram, where she is guilty of the occasional duck-face selfie.

Why stick with plain old A, B, C when you can have Amelia (Earhart), Malala, Tina (Turner), Ruth (Bader Ginsburg), all the way to eXtraordinary You―and the Zillion of adventures you will go on?
Instagram superstar Eva Chen, author of Juno Valentine and the Magical Shoes, is back with an alphabet board book depicting feminist icons in A Is for Awesome: 23 Iconic Women Who Changed the World, featuring spirited illustrations by Derek Desierto.
Disappointed! I wanted to love this book, I really did! I love Eva Chen and have been following her on IG for ever. I was expecting some of her humor and sparkling personality to show up in her books but this is just awful. Some of the women have a small description of why they’re awesome but then some like Dorothy Hodgkin say: D is for Dorothy a crystallographer who won the Nobel Prize for succeeding in the impossible. And that’s it! A little extra research wouldn’t have gone amiss and neither would better writing skills. Some of the female icons have a quote printed which simply doesn’t co-relate to the blurb next to it. And my 3 year old who LOVES reading just didn’t want to read it again. She’s read her Little People Big Dreams books about 50 times and while a little young, still loved the Ordinary People Change the Wod series too.Wonderful Love this book. My daughter loved seeing Juno. She recognized some of the women from the Juno Valentine book which made her smile. We also have a number of the Little People, Big Dreams books and it delighted her to recognize some of the women in this book. The end is absolutely phenomenal. While it’s a board book, it’s great for all ages. There were a few women I was excited to research on my own!If you enjoy books that empower youth while also entertain them, then this is a perfect pick! Purchased this for my granddaughter and she absolutely loved it! What an empowering and motivational book for kids of all ages! Keep up the great work Eva! Come visit a bookstore in Wisconsin sometime!
