Edited by Ellen Oh, a founding member of WNDB.

Kritikerstimmen

★ "A superbly rendered love letter to identity and heritage." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ "[A] rollicking collection, which maintains an air of positivity, empathy, cooperation, and inclusion throughout.... will leave readers wanting more." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ "These stories ebb and flow together in such a way that the reader feels like a resident of the Entrada themself, and thus feels part of a vibrant, loving community where everyone can belong." —Booklist, starred review

★ “A genuine celebration of family, friends, and the immigrant experience.” —School Library Journal, starred review

"An engaging, thought-provoking collection that can be read from front to back for a more novelistic approach or experienced (and savored) by dipping in and out." —The Horn Book
