Book Description
Most of us know what it's like to have our hopes dashed on moving house: the excitement fades and we realise the furniture doesn't fit, the rent is no cheaper, the heating doesn't work or the neighbours are noisy. But what about when you're moving to an entirely new country - when it's you and not your furniture that doesn't fit? When your qualifications aren't recognised, the heat is insane and the neighbours yell at you to go back to where you came from?WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE IMMIGRATING is an hilarious, insightful and often cutting portrait of the ups and downs of moving to Australia. Through brilliant, tongue-in-cheek illustrations depicting the panorama of migrant experiences, celebrated artist Nash Weerasekera provides a compelling, myth-busting, sometimes challenging and always funny 'how to' guide for new arrivals and those who welcome them.

We Are Here to Stay: Voices of Undocumented Young Adults

Author: Susan Kuklin
Publisher: Candlewick Press
ISBN: 0763697516
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 192

Book Description
With refreshing candor, photos and interviews usher us into the lives of eleven undocumented young people bravely speaking out. “Maybe next time they hear someone railing about how terrible immigrants are, they'll think about me. I’m a real person.” Meet nine courageous young adults who have lived in the United States with a secret for much of their lives: they are not U.S. citizens. They came from Colombia, Mexico, Ghana, Independent Samoa, and Korea. They came seeking education, fleeing violence, and escaping poverty. All have heartbreaking and hopeful stories about leaving their homelands and starting a new life in America. And all are weary of living in the shadows. We Are Here to Stay is a very different book than it was intended to be when originally slated for a 2017 release, illustrated with Susan Kuklin’s gorgeous full-color portraits. Since the last presidential election and the repeal of DACA, it is no longer safe for these young adults to be identified in photographs or by name. Their photographs have been replaced with empty frames, and their names are represented by first initials. We are honored to publish these enlightening, honest, and brave accounts that encourage open, thoughtful conversation about the complexities of immigration — and the uncertain future of immigrants in America.
