With meticulous research and a keen eye for illustration, award-winning author Ann Bausum brings the history of immigration in America to life for young readers. The narrative highlights how individuals from around the globe have shaped the American story in their quest for a better future. Immigration remains a vital issue in contemporary America, and understanding past lessons is crucial for shaping our collective future. While many immigration narratives focus on patriotic stories of hope, this work also sheds light on the lesser-known experiences of those who faced denial, detention, and deportation. Bausum presents poignant snapshots from the darker aspects of immigration history: the St. Louis, a ship carrying Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany, was denied entry to American ports, leading many passengers to perish in the Holocaust; Japanese-Americans were unjustly interned during World War II, regardless of their loyalty; and Emma Goldman, labeled a dangerous extremist, was deported in 1919 after three decades in the U.S. Bausum connects historical lessons to present-day issues, offering valuable insights into how our past informs current perspectives on immigration. National Geographic provides K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources to support this essential learning.
