Authors write, in brief, something you should know about them! Whether that be the places they are from, issues of great importance to them, or poetic reflections, each author writes their own truth. Read about annoying brothers, cat paradise, noodles, oranges, and islands.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “Something You Should Know About Us will wrap you up in the sights, smells, and tastes of the truest sense of home. In this anthology written by fourth graders in Saint Paul, Minnesota, you’re invited to explore the foods, places, and memories that make up who they are, and their questions for our leaders reveal the issues closest to their hearts. The words of these young authors will leave you hungry for more!”
