​ABOUT THE BOOK
​Students in New York City public schools speak more than 100 different languages and, according to the 2000 US Census, over 35% of New York residents were born in foreign countries. Speaking Worlds is part of a vibrant five-book set of anthologies that provides a window into the immigrant experience. Written by students at five schools in New York City's GED-Plus program, our December book of the month addresses topics as diverse as their authors, from childhoods in distant climates and cultures to the challenges and daily triumphs of forging new lives in this land of opportunity. 

CELEBRATE THE RICHNESS OF DIVERSITY
We invite you to use this book as a resource to embrace diversity and foster understanding in your classroom. Written by students from New York City public schools, representing over 100 different languages and wide-ranging cultural backgrounds, the pages of these anthologies provide a vivid glimpse into the immigrant experience. 

This publication offers truly authentic narratives, capturing the journeys of these young authors from all around the world to the United States. Through these compelling stories, your students can grow in their understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by immigrants every day, cultivating empathy and global awareness.
