Immigration stories told in the United States often center around people and families planting roots in the U.S. “This Is Not My Home” tells a different immigration story — that of someone emigrating from the U.S. — from a point of view that is often ignored, a child’s perspective. Author and illustrator duo Eugenia Yoh and Vivienne Chang share the inspiration behind the main character, Lily, and how their friends’ experiences moving from the U.S. to Taiwan inspired them to write a children’s book.
