Flying Lessons & Other Stories by Ellen Oh

4.0

I definitely am glad this book exists and gave me the chance to read stories from so many diverse and different backgrounds. I realized last year that while I did my fair share of reading female voices, I really needed to work on reading more LGBTQ+ and POC stories- and the We Need Diverse Books movement was the spark that started my conscious change to diversify my reading. Some of the stories in here really wowed me, others I didn't connect with as much (which is fine, I'm sure it will reach the right reader out there). This was a nice way to show all sorts of different authors and really made sure there was a little bit of something for everyone. Highly recommend this to readers of all ages- this isn't just for middle grade readers, adults will enjoy and gain something from these stories too.
