(3) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Faulkner. This upbeat book about America and Americans focuses on the diversity of a country built by immigrants (and briefly acknowledges the tragic losses of American Indians). Faulkner's warm watercolor and pencil illustrations enhance Shamir's friendly, folksy text highlighting America's proudest and darkest moments. Quirky facts and a friendly tone will appeal to kids. An author's note with resources is appended. Timeline.
