MY REVIEW: "Home of the Brave: An American History Book for Kids: 15 Immigrants Who Shaped U.S. History" is recommended for kids ages 9-12, but adults and younger children will also enjoy the book. Immigration is explained as "the process of leaving one country to live in another". The fifteen amazing and inspiring people featured here are: Levis Strauss; Mary Harris Jones; John Muir; Albert Einstein; Mabel Ping-Hua Lee; Maya Deren; I.M. Pei; Elie Wiesel; Madeleine Albright; Isabel Allende; Carlos Santana; Mikhail Baryshnikov; Iman Abduliid; Nadia Comaneci; and Dikembe Mutombo. Each of the featured subjects is represented by an artful color likeness, and each is given several biographical pages with a end note on how to learn more about them. There are also ten more famous immigrants who are given brief, one-sentence biographies. America truly is "the home of the brave"--a world within a world--an ever-evolving blend of cultures, cuisines, old favorites, and new beginnings--all made possible by its people.
