From We Need Diverse Books, the organization behind Flying Lessons & Other Stories, comes an inspiring middle-grade anthology that follows the loosely interconnected lives of multigenerational immigrant families, the residents at the Entrada apartment building. Edited by Ellen Oh, a founding member of WNDB.



12 Families. 12 Cultures. 1 Building.



Welcome to the Entrada, home to these everyday Americans, including

the new kid on the block, who is both homesick and curious

a Popsicle-bridge builder, a ghost hunter, and a lion dancer

their families, friends, and neighbors from all around the world!



Published in partnership with We Need Diverse Books, this anthology features award-winning authors Tracey Baptiste, David Bowles, Adrianna Cuevas, Sayantani DasGupta, Debbi Michiko Florence, Adam Gidwitz, Erin Entrada Kelly, Minh Lê, Ellen Oh, Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich, Andrea Wang, and Jasmine Warga.
