May is in full bloom, and this month we're celebrating Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage as well as National Children's Book Week (May 5-11). It's also Mental Health Awareness Month! Why not celebrate all three together? Browse our in-store collection of children's materials, wellness resources, and books featuring AAPI writers and characters. And check out these online selections below, featuring some of Oakland Public Library and the Bookmark staff's favorite authors and illustrators.
