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. These inspiring stories celebrate family, friendship, culture, and American immigrant life today.
