Saints by Gene Luen Yang – A Book Review
I recently wrote a review of Gene Luen Yang’s Boxers, and this book, Saints, is a companion piece. In fact, it’s more than just a companion piece — it’s a conclusion. In Boxers, there’s a moment where the main character, Bao, sees a young girl close to his own age. He believes she looks like…

Boxers by Gene Luen Yang – A Book Review
After teaching American Born Chinese for several years, I finally decided my (then) nine-year-old could handle it last fall. She loved it, so when Gene Luen Yang came to our local library, we had to pay him a visit. Unbelievably, we got there before anyone else and snagged a front row seat. Mr. Yang was…

Ant-Man and the Wasp – A Movie Review
You may remember that I kind of liked the first Ant-Man. (Read that review HERE.) I’m not going to spoil Ant-Man and the Wasp for you, but I’ll say this–I liked it even better than the first one! Everything the first one did really well got executed even better this time around. The character dynamics…

Be a Star At Hollywood Studios: Family 2018 Disney World Vacation (Part 4)
We started our Walt Disney World vacation at my favorite park — Hollywood Studios. If you know me, it’s probably not hard to guess why I love this park so much. Two words: Star. Wars. Before we go there, though, I’d like to give you an overview of Hollywood Studios in terms of shows, rides,…
