This collection of short stories about the experience of living a mixed culture is a nice cornucopia of storytelling including, poetry and  even a graphic story from authors David Yoo, Gene Luen Yang, Cherry Cheva, Debbie Rigauld, Mitali Perkins, Varian Johnson, Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich, G. Neri, Francisco X. Stork and Naomi Shihab Nye. 

Although very short, this would be a good addition to your Middle or High School short story collection.
