You Are Here is a collection of short stories written by twelve Asian American authors (and edited by Ellen Oh) who each paint a unique picture of the Asian American experience over the course of a single day in Chicago O'Hare Airport.
What I loved:
- The different formats, tones, and experiences of the stories
- The way the book clearly demonstrates that there is no singular "Asian American experience", though many of the stories have overlapping themes
- The accessibility of the writing and content to middle grade readers, while still addressing some heavy topics
