"Grand Terrace, which houses working families speaking seven different languages, reflects the changing demographics of our country in miniature. In the face of escalating toxic language directed at new immigrants and those of us who welcome them, it’s important that we work to tell compassionate, collaborative stories about our new homes and neighbors." - Nik NerburnAll text printed in English, Spanish, and Tigrinya (an Ethiopian language spoken by many building residents). 96 pages, hardcover, smyth-bound (so it lays flat when opened), matte 100# cotton paper, navy blue linen cover with silver foil.
