Abstract From the Publisher: With painstaking research, an unerring eye for just the right illustration, and her unique narrative style, award-winning author Ann Bausum makes the history of immigration in America come alive for young people.

Immigration remains one of the critical topics in 21st century America, and how our children learn the lessons of the past will shape all our futures
