I’m delighted to reveal the cover for SOME OF US: A Story of Citizenship and the United States, written by me and gorgeously illustrated by Huy Voun Lee, coming May 2025 from Christy Ottaviano Books / Little, Brown Books for Young Readers!
Some of us are citizens by birth. Some of us are born outside the US and gain citizenship through immigration and naturalization. This lyrical nonfiction book outlines the process by which some of us—spanning every age and background—travel to the United States to live, work, study, and contribute to the fabric of our new communities. After years, without relinquishing who we are or where we came from, we can choose to become naturalized citizens. We can become American.
This book honors different paths to citizenship and celebrates all the people who enrich our country by striving to participate in our democracy.
As an immigrant, I’m so proud that this book is coming into the world. Huy Von Lee’s illustrations are stirring and beautiful.
SOME OF US releases May 27, 2025 and is available for preorder today!
