One of the first Asian stars on the Big Screen, Anna May Wong's story is showcased here in this brief Biography of her life, career and love of the movies.
The artwork is fantastic and I didn't know much about Miss Wong going into it, but it is definitely a wonderful biography to show off issues of immigration, racism, the true struggle of being a performing artist, and familial understanding.
I look forward to reading more about her.

December 10, 2020The problem with this book is that, as lovely the illustrations are, as compelling the subject, as fine the writing is, it doesn't know whom it's for. Considering just how much text is on the page, it paints Wong in really broad strokes and is a little too tell, not show, for my taste. I think this could have been a great middle grade or chapter book biography, and if pared down would have been a great picturebook biography, but as it is, its trim size is at odds with its voice.

This nonfiction picture book has beautiful illustrations and a fascinating, well-told historical narrative about Anna May Wong, a pioneering Chinese-American actress. The book engages well with different challenges from throughout her life, and with the ethical dilemmas that she faced when accepting stereotyped roles. This is very thoughtful and engaging, and I would recommend it to kids and adults.

Just discovered this book and it is amazing. The story alone is wonderful. It tells about a young Chinese American girl who grows up and becomes an actress in the 1920's and all the discrimination and inequality that she faced and what she learned from it. The illustrations are also incredible. Though it is a picture book, I would recommend it more for 2nd to 4th grade.

This was a cool book! I had never actually heard of Anna May Wong before I read this book, so it was interesting to learn about her while I read this!

Shining Star: The Anna May Wong Story is a children's picture book written by Paula Yoo and illustrated by Lin Wang. It chronicles the early years of Anna May Wong who grew up in Los Angeles' Chinatown and dreams about being a movie star.
May, at least in my part of the world is Asian Heritage Month, which I plan to read one children's book, particularly a biography, which pertains to the subject everyday this month. Therefore, I thought that this book would be apropos for today.
Anna May Wong (born Wong Liu Tsong) was an American actress, considered to be the first Toisonese (Taishanese) Chinese American Hollywood movie star, as well as the first Chinese American actress to gain international recognition. Her long and varied career spanned silent film, sound film, television, stage, and radio.
Yoo's text is rather simplistic, straightforward, and informative. The narrative dives into Wong's childhood and the difficulties and racism she had to face and overcome of being an Asian trying to break into the film industry. Wang's illustrations are drawn and complemented the text rather well, bringing a wonderful life to the narrative.
The premise of the book is rather straightforward. Anna May Wong wasn't supposed to be an actress. As a child, she worked in her family's laundry business in Los Angeles' Chinatown, ironing clothes and making deliveries, but she rebelled. The daring girl would skip school to visit movie sets, eventually working her way up from performing as a film extra and in small roles during the 1910s and 1920s to becoming a movie star in Europe. This biography charts all the hardships and racism Wong encountered within the film industry and her attempts to improve the portrayal of Asian Americans in film and beyond.
All in all, Shining Star: The Anna May Wong Story is a wonderful book about a Anna May Wong – the first Chinese American film star and her spirited determination in the face of discrimination and an inspiration to those who must overcome obstacles to make their dreams come true.

Born to traditional Chinese parents who failed to understand her aspirations to become an actress, Anna May Wong eventually became a film star. But some critics saw her roles as stereotypical and the films as inferior. After traveling abroad, she vowed never to appear in a film that was demeaning to the Chinese, thus breaking several stereotypes about her ancestors. I appreciated how this short biography tells the ups and downs of her career even while showing Anna May's own growth and impact on the film industry. The book contains archival photographs, illustrations, and various sidebars about pertinent topics such as Chinatown, whitewashing, and Gold Mountain as well as a glossary and suggested additional reading. This book would be a good introduction to the often-misunderstood actress.

A young Chinese-American girl dreams of being an actress at a time when neither her family nor the movie industry take her seriously. Yet Anna May Wong makes her dreams come true, if not as the big star she had hoped to be, at least enough to support her family. Young readers may be surprised to learn how deeply the prejudice ran against Asian Americans. Examples: she often had to play an anti-Asian stereotype character, and other times, because a white actor (in "yellowface" makeup) could not kiss an Asian woman, Anna May lost roles of Chinese women because white actors were cast as the Chinese husband in the film.
The Author's Note explains how Wong only accepted positive roles in her later years, but was still criticized for her earlier work.

June 28, 2012Audience: Elementary age students. Girls may relate better to this story about a strong female. Anyone fascinated by Hollywood or films may enjoy this story.
Appeal: The story starts off with Anna May Wong as a young girl, just dreaming of being an actress. She ends up achieving her dream against all odds, making this a very inspiring story. The end of the story contains a short bio on her as well as real pictures.

I'd never heard of Anna May Wong before this, and now I'm really glad I read this. It's a really well done biography. It brings up a couple of issues that are truly swept under the rug in most discussions of racism. Beautiful illustrations really bring this whole book to life. The thing is great, well worth the read.

This is a book I won in a drawing on Goodreads. It's a picture book biography about the first Chinese American movie star. I thought it was a wonderful story with beautiful illustrations. Also an eye-opener for me about a part of American history I know very little about.

Very informative. Excellent illustrations. Readable. Very well-written for young readers.

An interesting biography of an actress defined and confined by her ethnicity.

Grateful for the information in the back of the book for movies to see. Illustrations were an added bonus, a nice job by all

This makes me want to watch her movies.

Shining Star: The Anna May Wong Story by Paula Yoo and winner of the Carter J. Woodson Award, tells the story of Anna May Wong. I first learned of Anna May Wong in one of my classes at university this semester. That class discussed racism and how it impacted the lives of so many people throughout history. We actually specifically learned about how Anna May Wong was not allowed to kiss her male co-stars because interracial relationships were not allowed to be shown in movies at the time. Reading this book was a deeper look into what we just scraped the surface on in that class. I really enjoyed reading this book and loved that it made a very important historical topic readily available and understandable to young readers. Therefore, I think it made a very difficult topic to discuss easy for the age group it was made for.
The illustrations in this book are done in watercolor and acrylic according to the copyright page. The illustrations have very bright colors, but the acrylic paints also make some of the colors look almost opaque in comparison to the watercolor paints. Because of watercolor and acrylic paints being used, there reader is able to see a texture to the illustrations. I believe that the style of the illustrations used throughout the book is impressionism due to there being faded and blurred lines being used. Every illustration in this book just seems to flow along with everything else in the frame. When Anna May Wong or her family is in an illustration, they are typically dressed in brighter colors than those around them, to better capture the ornate beauty of their traditional clothing. I think the style of illustrations show the blend of Asia and American that Wong felt. The different style of clothing depicted throughout the illustrations would help the reader understand some of the complexity of life then. The illustrator was also very good at depicted emotions on characters, which makes it very easy for young readers to pick up.
The cover of this book has an illustration of Anna May on it carrying a lantern, her first movie role, with very faint characters in the background. Her lantern shines on her and makes her the main part of the cover—like a shining star. The back cover of the book has a photo of Anna May in black and white. The dust jacket looks exactly the same as the cover; however, the flaps inside the book tell a brief history of Anna May. The title page of the book has an illustration of Anna May with trees and birds behind her faintly. This book typically uses double-page spreads for illustrations, but there are some pages where it is just a single page spread. When there are double page spreads, the illustrations go through the gutter, and the single page spreads extend into the gutter, so that the page is fully covered. The end pages are simply a solid red page. There are no borders used throughout this book.
It is so important that this book is written and illustrated by Asian women. This allows them to tell a history of an Asian- American woman while getting the same exposure as other authors and illustrators. I think this book is a great one for young readers, but it could be a bit advanced for some ages. Therefore, if I used this book in my classroom, I would probably read it first and then allow the students to analyze it more once they heard the story once. I think this would be a great book to help teach about the history of racism, but it is also so important to teach perseverance and pride. I think every child could benefit from reading this book, as it gives a detailed look into a very hard time and concept, but makes it easy for young readers to enjoy and grasp. I recommend this book to every young reader!

I'm fascinated by the ending and wish there was more to the story as it seemed to tell the first part of her journey, as Chinese American immigrant who wanted to act against the wishes of her parents. She began acting and played stereotypical roles because it was acting until she was able to push a few boundaries but was ultimately as fulfilled as she was unfulfilled by her work. The book ends somewhat abruptly with her return to to China-- her home although it didn't feel like home and the ambivalence most felt toward her as an actress and representative of Chinese culture.
The biography is a fascinating one that shows a lot about the backward thinking of Hollywood (and even know with gender pay gap and casting of characters) to demonstrate that not much has changed!

In the 1930s, Anna May Wong became the first Chinese American movie star.
Shining Star does a great job of sharing Anna May’s struggle with racism and stereotypes in Hollywood.
While on her way to becoming a star, Anna May played many roles that were stereotypical and portrayed Asians in a negative light. Eventually, her decision to take these roles bothered her.
So in 1936, Anna went to China to take a break from Hollywood. There, she studied and learned as much as she could about her heritage. While on that trip, Anna vowed never to take another role in a film that negatively showed the Chinese.
Shining Star is an excellent book, and if you haven’t heard of Anna May Wong, this book is a great place to start.

Don't be fooled by this picture book. I would recommend to read it aloud to your elementary age readers or I would recommend it for your older elementary students to read. This book would be a great resource in getting your student started on learning about Anna May Wong.
I found the artwork beautiful and the text of the book very informative. This wasn't told in a story format but more of an informative format for the reader. There was a lot of text on each page. But the content is appropriate (in my opinion) for all elementary age readers.
One of the main themes that Anna May struggles with is being proud to be Chinese while so much racism towards her and in society makes it hard for her to do so.

I took interest in this book when preparing for a Girl Scout meeting where we presented the girls with the newly issued Juliette Gordon Low quarter. She and Anna May Wong are two of 20 women in American history to be featured on the US quarter.
I checked out as many books on these women from the library as I could and brought them along. The girls didn't take much in the books themselves, but I had their attention long enough to expose them to these women. Now that I have a stack this high of YA biographies, I plan to read them and will encourage my kids to check them out before returning them.
Anna May Wong is not likely a well known figure to many youth, but her story is worth leaning about and celebrating. The quarter and biographies like these help keep her legacy alive.

Star rating: 5
Copyright: 2009
Genre: Biography - autobiography
Theme(s): Racism; stereotypes
I like how the book shows Anna May Wong's personal struggles she faces throughout her life and how she is able to overcome them, like coming to the decision that she was only going to play roles in which they portrayed Asian people in a positive manner. I think this would be a great book to use to talk about racial stereotypes and how they lead to racism.

This isn’t the adult biography I was hoping for, it’s a children’s picture book and lovely, but it does have a bibliography at the end including Anna May Wong: From Laundryman's Daughter to Hollywood Legend. Borrowed from interlibrary loan.
April 7, 2019
I am very glad that I came across this book. It brings up a lot of issues about racism that should be talked about. This story is relatable for females to be strong and courageous. Being a strong female nowadays is so important. I also thought that it was an eyeopener for me about American history that I had very little knowledge about. Paula Yoo told this story beautifully.
April 25, 2019
A beautifully illustrated biography and a worthy addition to the far too few Asian American biographies available. I especially appreciated the detailed and nuanced treatment of how Anna felt about and confronted the bias and racism of the time. I wish the text had been more concise to make this available to a younger audience, but regardless it is a valuable addition for 3rd- 6th grade.
April 17, 2023
I decided to pick this up because I wanted to read about the women who'll be featured in quarters. Anna May Wong realized that sometimes the realization of a dream- in her case, being a movie star- is just the beginning as she fought to have more meaningful roles for herself and other Asian Americans.
April 9, 2019
The book effectively captures Anna May’s passionate dreams, her humiliations, her compromises and her ultimate success as well as the sacrifices her parents made when they immigrated to the United States. This riff on the immigration theme is a pertinent read for current times.
June 29, 2020
Excellent account of Chinese American Anna May, who fought for Chinese stories to be represented in Hollywood. Includes her experience with yellow face and the ban on interracial kissing in the movies. Great discussion starters for families.
July 1, 2023
Maybe more of a 3.5, but it deals with her trying to overcome racial discrimination.
Tells of Anna May Wong's fascination with movies, and her struggle with the negative, stereotypical parts she was offered.

Such lovely information about a pioneering actress brings to light many of the negatives of the early movie industry.
