Vera Wang Queen of Fashion; Amazing Chinese American (Biographies of Amazing Asian Americans) (Biographies of Amazing Asian Americans)

My 6 year old daughter read this book to do a book report at school and loved it. She now wants to be a fashion designer.

When I ordered this book I did not realized it was more of children's book than an adult. I was disappointing.

What a wonderful fairy-tale story -- all the more amazing because it's a true story about a real person!Vera Wang is quite an inspirational figure for anyone, demonstrating that it's possible to follow your dreams & that perseverence pays off. It seems her life could have been one of ease & opulence, but instead Wang chose a career in a very tough field where you're judged by your talent & hard work, not your family history. In fact, as an Asian American woman at that time, she broke the boundaries, blazing trails for others to follow. I'm glad Ms. Louie has written this as a children's book, the better to introduce younger generations to the contributions of Asian Americans to this country's incredible history & achievements.

I really enjoyed this book because it is a success story about a very gifted young lady. When she became a fashion designer and after she got married, she opened the Bridal Shop. My favorite parts are when she started ice skating, when she took ballet lessons, and when she started to draw. I really like these things too. I would suggest this book to other girls and boys my age (9).

I was delighted to receive "Vera Wang:Queen of Fashion" with the author's autograph. This is an intelligent children's book that, instead of talking down to children, inspires them with a remarkable (and true) story delivered with respect for its readers. Ms. Louie's writing is enthusiastic, fluid, descriptive and age-appropriate; the illustrations are perfect. This book encourages girls to believe in themselves and to work hard to achieve their dreams. A wonderful message for children of all ages and nationalities! I am looking forward to reading "Vera Wang" to my grandkids. Rona Sands, Teacher of the Handicapped
