Where Did Your Family Come From? explains the concept of immigration, beginning with long ago but concentrating on the lives of four young immigrants today.
Many ways to immigrate and reasons for immigrating are explored, from parents' job opportunities to flight from an aggressive government. Additional concepts of immigration, such as obtaining visas and U.S. citizenship, are addressed. The text also explores how the immigrating children must adapt to new homes, enroll in new schools, and make new friends.
A positive tone pervades this colorful book as it reveals the activities and hopes of four young immigrants and their families.
