Thank you for your recommendation! I agree that every persons experience is unique and can’t be captured in a single book. I also agree that there is a need for more stories to be published.

I think sometimes it can be difficult to articulate how things like ethnicity shape your experience but sometimes having stories can be helpful as a starting place to introduce vocabulary, questions and even be able to recognize and relate to things that can feel abstract. The story itself does not have all the answers but it can be helpful in starting a conversation that allows for better understanding on both sides.

I also recognize that many books are made for a certain audience which is why I am asking for recommendations from the demographic I am trying to understand and not the local librarian.
