I'm a real person.\" \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeet nine courageous young adults who have lived in the United States with a secret for much of their lives: they are not U.S. citizens. They came from Colombia, Mexico, Ghana, Independent Samoa, and Korea. They came seeking education, fleeing violence, and escaping poverty. All have heartbreaking and hopeful stories about leaving their homelands and starting a new life in America. And all are weary of living in the shadows. \u003ci\u003eWe Are Here to Stay\u003c\/i\u003e is a very different book than it was intended to be when originally slated for a 2017 release, illustrated with Susan Kuklin's gorgeous full-color portraits. Since the last presidential election and the repeal of DACA, it is no longer safe for these young adults to be identified in photographs or by name. Their photographs have been replaced with empty frames, and their names are represented by first initials. We are honored to publish these enlightening, honest, and brave accounts that encourage open, thoughtful conversation about the complexities of immigration -- and the uncertain future of immigrants in America.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Kuklin \u003c\/b\u003eis the award-winning author and photographer of more than thirty books for children and young adults that address social issues and culture, including \u003ci\u003eNo Choirboy: Murder, Violence, and\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTeenagers on Death Row \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBeyond Magenta: \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTransgender Teens Speak Out, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich was named a Stonewall Honor Book.
