School Library Association graphic saying that Amazing Asia has made the Information Book Award shortlist for 2025.

So grateful to see Amazing Asia on the Information Book Award shortlist. Hard to shout about happy things right now but this one means a lot. As illustrator Jason Lyon says, books like this “champion love and culture… in a world often filled with toxicity and hate.” 💛
