I Come From Afghanistan

Using an immigrant child's own words, each title in this series tells the compelling story of a child from a family that has recently come to live in the United States. The children featured come from six different countries in various parts of the world. Young readers will learn how these children have adapted to living in a strange land and how much of their culture they have retained and cherished. Correlated to the social studies curriculum, the first-person accounts and vivid colorful photographs of daily living bring to life the immigrant experience and give students a deeper understanding of people, places, and environments around the world.
