American immigration : our history, our stories / Kathleen Krull. - First edition. - New York, NY : Harper, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2020. - xxviii, 260 pages : illustrations, maps ; 22 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
By land, air, and sea, people have come to the United States seeking a better life. Though the journey for many was grueling, with obstacles at every turn, our nation would not be what it is today without the contributions of immigrants. Their stories serve as reminders of the progress we've made, and the work left to do. From writers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, to scientists like Albert Einstein, to innovators like Nikola Tesla and Elon Musk, immigrants have changed the way we eat, think, and live. While America has seen years of prejudice and discrimination, we continue to rise above and focus on the values that have united us since the beginning: liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. Kathleen Krull's historical look at immigration will captivate readers as they learn more about the important roles immigrants have played in helping the United States of America grow and prosper.
Ages 8-12.
