Jessica Kim wrote Stand Up, Yumi Chung! and I don't know if she has done stand up, but man she nailed it! The whole "why" and the nervousness and the exhilaration. I really appreciated learning more about Yumi's experience as a Korean-American, too. And I love the grace that was demonstrated in Jasmine's reaction- especially since, while I know that Yumi should have said something right away, Jasmine just to assumed that Yumi was Kay because she was Asian and well that was hopefully a teachable moment for Jasmine, too!
Great great book!
