"Through my books I hope to give young Asian-Americans a
sense of their past and to reinforce their self-esteem and self-knowledge.
At the same time, I want to dispel the stereotypic image still held by many
non-Asians about the Japanese and write about them as real people. I
hope to convey the strength of spirit and the sense of hope and purpose I
have observed in many first-generation Japanese. Beyond that, I write
to celebrate our common humanity, for the basic elements of humanity are
present in all our strivings." |

| Welcome to my author study site for Yoshiko Uchida! This site has been created for LS 5613: Advanced Literature for Children and Young Adults, a graduate class of Texas Woman's University's School of Library and Information Studies in Denton, Texas. I plan to update this site as often as needed. Please email me using the hyperlinks on each page with any thoughts or suggestions. Although I am currently working part time and enrolled in school full time, I will get to them as soon as possible. |
