Edited by Oh, cofounder of We Need Diverse Books, ten stories by (mostly) well-known authors of diverse backgrounds present young protagonists dealing with common themes of growing up--love, family, friendship, dreams, fitting in, etc. Stories by Soman Chainani, Matt de la Peña, Jacqueline Woodson, Kwame Alexander, Meg Medina, Grace Lin, and Walter Dean Myers are included in the unusually strong collection.
