The street a young girl lives on is made up of families from all over the world. Her family shares with her their stories of journey and struggle. Her own story begins here in this country, but she is sometimes made to feel she does not belong. She listens to her family’s voices. They tell her she will soar, they tell her she is beautiful. She listens and she says I, too, am here.

A multigenerational exploration of immigration, racism, and what it truly means to belong. Inspired by Langston Hughes’ poem, “I, Too.”

Morgan Christie is the author of multiple books. She has won the Arc Poetry Poem of the Year Contest, the Prairie Fire Fiction Prize, and the Howling Bird Press Nonfiction Book Award. Morgan wasn’t sure what she wanted to be when she grew up, but she knew that she wanted to make a difference in the world. She hopes that through the stories she tells she is doing just that. Morgan writes out of Toronto.
