Getting to Know Our Neighbors

By Elizabeth Andrews, author of the Our Neighbors series from ABDO’s Pop! division

When I started writing the Our Neighbors series for ABDO’s Pop! division, I knew I wanted to get to know each culture’s day-to-day life before writing. I was learning about Somali, Indian, Chinese, Lebanese, Brazilian, and Mexican Americans. Blogs, news articles, and YouTube videos let me dive into each specific culture.
