I Am America (Rise and Shine)

My daughter is an American growing up in Shanghai, China. While she did live in the USA for 2 and a half years of her life she doesn't really remember it. I bought this book to help her identify with other American children living in the USA. The book accomplishes that goal - the picture are bright and colorful, appealing to the young reader and the prose is perfect - simple but demonstrates the diversity that is America. I highly recommend this for the young expat - ages 3 - 5.

Great

Great read aloud for Civics, diversity lessons.

Great inclusive story

very colorful!

Love this book!

I used this book in a lesson on voice. I got some really great writing. My favorite was, "I am a rock and roll, Spanish-speaking bad boy." The book really inspired the students to determine who they are.

Grandson loves it
