About this listen

An Instant New York Times Bestseller!

This joyful and lyrical audiobook from New York Times best-selling author Eva Chen and cover illustrator Sophie Diao is a moving ode to the immigrant experience, as well as a manifesto of self-love for Chinese American children.

What do you see when you look in the mirror, Mei? Do you see beauty?

We see eyes that point toward the sun, that give us the warmth and joy of a thousand rays when you smile. We see hair as inky black and smooth as a peaceful night sky. We see skin brushed with gold.

A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends

Praise for I Am Golden:

"[A] richly metaphoric celebration of Chinese American identity.... Luminous, gently textured digital art by Diao includes thoughtful, recognizably Chinese cues that add further dimension.... A loving, affecting tribute to how children of immigrants can serve as bridges and torchbearers for their communities." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

"From the outset, this gorgeous picture book exudes joy and celebration of identity. Through dazzling illustrations, Diao brings to exuberant life best-selling Chinese American author Chen’s message of finding love and power in one’s differences.... This powerful and uplifting story captures [Chinese] American joy and is a definite must-read." (Booklist, starred review)

"Perfectly matched text and illustration ... Every gorgeous spread in Chen and Diao's co-creation maintains this exceptional and precise text and art symbiosis. ...
