W is for Welcome: A Celebration of America’s Diversity<\/em>
\nby Brad Herzog (Author)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Following the alphabet this book uses poetry and expository text to celebrate America’s diverse population and showcase the remarkable achievements and contributions that have come from the many people who have chosen to make our country their home. Topics include well-known landmarks and institutions (the Statue of Liberty and the White House, our national parks system) and famous citizens whose talents helped make the United States a world leader (Albert Einstein and Madeleine Albright). In addition to celebrating America’s history and development, key concepts such as naturalization and steps to citizenship are explained in easy-to-understand terms for the young reader.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> Each year millions of people leave their homelands to start new lives in another country. They emigrate from<\/em> their birth nation and immigrate to<\/em> a new one. America, in particular, is made up of immigrants and their descendants. Everyone is here because their ancestors “migrated” (moved from one place to another). Some of them, such as the ancestors of Native Americans, migrated to North America very long ago. Many other arrived against their will. For instance, hundreds of thousands of Africans were forced to come here and were enslaved. But over the centuries, the United States has welcomed millions of strangers to its shores.<\/p>\n

A is for America
\na dreamer’s destination
\nmade up of people who are here
\ndue to immigration. <\/p>\n
