Finding Home: The Journey of Immigrants and Refugees

(3) 4-6 Think series. Illustrated by Drew Shannon. This well-organized offering opens by looking back at human migration throughout history, including "the dark side of colonialism." Next, Lee takes a contemporary lens to the topic, considering the many reasons why people might uproot themselves. The readable narrative covers "legal versus illegal" immigration, refugee rights, anti-immigrant feelings, and the challenges and benefits for both immigrants and their new communities. Each section concludes with two or three profiles of individuals or families to highlight the diversity of immigrant and refugee experiences. Photographs and illustrations help break up the text; sidebars provide related information. A glossary and extensive annotated list of print, video, and online resources are appended. Index unseen.
