In these eleven original stories, characters bravely face the challenges of settling into a new life.In this wonderful new short story anthology, eleven of Canada's top children's authors contribute stories of immigration, displacement and change, exploring the frustration and uncertainty those changes can bring.

Watts, Ruby Slipperjack, Afua Cooper, Rukhsana Khan, Marie-Andree Clermont, Lillian Boraks-Nemetz and Shelley Tanaka.
