This landmark book, the first collection of this type, focuses exclusively on children and adolescents, and is directed towards a young adult audience. By addressing the issues of childhood and adolescent culture, aside from ethnic affiliations, the anthology also addresses an adult audience.
The significance of Growing Up Filipino ties in with the increasing number of Filipinos in America who are now the second largest in the umbrella group of Asian Americans. Despite this fact, there is a scarcity of Filipino and Filipino American books available. This anthology can serve as an important resource for librarians, teachers, as well as the general public.
