Mamie Takes a Stand

The True Story of Mamie Tape, a Chinese American Girl's Fight for School Rights

Beschreibung

Eight-year-old Mamie Tape loved to learn. In the fall of 1884 in San Francisco, California, Mamie excitedly arrived for her first day at an American public school, only to find the principal blocking her way. Why? Because Mamie was Chinese. This is the real, little-known story of Mamie and her family's courageous fight for her right to attend public school. Will Mamie be allowed to join the rest of her friends at school, or will she be denied the education that she and every child deserve?

Autor

Marie Chan shares stories that inspire love for all. Being the daughter of Taiwanese immigrants fueled her passion to write children's books that amplify underrepresented voices, highlight hidden figures in Asian American history, and build cross-cultural awareness. As a former California public school teacher, she holds Mamie Tape's story in her heart because she would not have been allowed to teach or study in California if Mamie had not fought against racial discrimination and won her case. Marie lives in California with her husband, two children with a third in heaven, and her giant rabbit, Sunshine. Sian James's vibrant and imaginative illustrations have appeared in projects for several prominent clients, including Harper Collins and Oxford University Press. A native of Hong Kong, Sian currently resides in Cambridge, England, with her husband, Nathan, and their two affectionate cats, Miso and Mochi.
