In I Am Home, you will meet the faces and voices behind the conversations around immigration. These portraits and stories of teenagers who are recent immigrants to the US from all over the world show the diversity, beauty, and potential of the people who now call the United States home.
Sixty full-page portraits of students at Oakland International High School, photographed by award-winning photographer Ericka McConnell, are accompanied by their own unique, diverse, and surprising stories of what makes them feel at home.
Each of these young people is inspiring in their own right and together their stories will help us consider the issue of immigration with new mindfulness and compassion. All profits from the publication of this book will be donated to Oakland International High School.

"Timely, heartfelt, and inspiring."
Suzy B.
"This is an important book on so many levels. While politicians may throw around statistics no one wants to discuss the actual families who have given up everything to get here."
T. Fogelquist
"This book should be in every American's home- reminding us of our fortune at having diversity bless our country. It is poignant, and beautiful."
Michael Cecconi
