A little long for younger grades, but valuable information with an accepting and celebratory perspective.

I liked how this book talked about the history of different groups of people in the U.S. Native Americans came to America through a land bridge, some Europeans came to escape religious persecution, some Africans came against their will from the slave trade, and some refugees came after WWII. I like how this book emphasizes celebrating our differences.

“America is a nation of immigrants. Immigrants are people who come to a new land to make their home. All Americans are related to immigrants or are immigrants themselves.“
