Abstract: This review article argues that the volume titled Representations of Children and Success in Asia: Dream Chasers, edited by Shih-Wen Sue Chen and Sin Wen Lau (2022), is an invaluable contribution to English-language critical discourse on children’s literature and culture in relation to Asian and non-English language texts. The monograph analyses a broad range of primary texts from Asia, offering a comprehensive introduction to diverse Asian cultural contexts. The chapters address various critical issues, such as questioning rigid standards of educational success, negotiating identities, and becoming a moral being in society. The engaging selection of primary texts and the critical insights presented in the volume may serve as a contribution to further discussions.
