"Green Card Youth Voices: Immigration Stories from a Minneapolis High School" is a unique collection of thirty personal essays written by students from Wellstone International High School. Coming from thirteen different countries, these youth share stories of family, school, change, and dreams. The broad range of experiences and the honesty with which these young people tell their stories is captured here with inspiring clarity. Their reasons for immigrating are vast, but a common thread unites them; despite tremendous tribulation these young people continue to work towards the futures of which they dream.

With the included study guide and glossary, "Green Card Youth Voices" is an exceptional resource for English and social science classes, adult learners, ESL classrooms, and book clubs.

Includes: Introduction by Kao Kalia Yang, author of "The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir", 30 personal essays, 30 color portraits, links to the students' video narratives, glossary, study guide.
