ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This book wouldnt have been possible without the help of so many people who contributed their time and effort to the endeavor. Id first like to thank all the participating families for sharing their lives with me, and trusting me to turn them into illustrated characters. Id also like to thank all the friends, family, and friends of friends who helped us reach across thousands of miles to find these families.

So a huge thank you, in no particular order, to: Julia Rothman, Jessica Rothman, Margaret Bryer, Hillary Pius, Tanya Levshina, Marylin Schweitzer, Alexis Mahon, Appu Mahajan, Dima Gershenson, Angel Verstegui Gubler, Fernando Aspajo Hidalgo, Ilaria Falorsi, Nina Weida, Anna Dyachenko, Elya Tagirova, Adam Lamothe, Ali Kiani, and Masoud Sobhani. And, of course, the team at Chronicle Books, including my wonderful editor, Ariel Richardson, for her thoughtful advice and encouraging words.
