A breathtaking, eye-opening look at the patchwork of cultures that
make up our nation and the many ways we define what it means to be an
American.
What does it mean to be American?
A classroom of children across many races, cultures, and origins
explores the concept of Americanness as they each share bits of their
family history and how their past has shaped their own personal American
experience. Whether as new immigrants, or those whose family came to
this country generations ago, or other scenarios, these children's
stories show some of the broad range of cultures and values that form
the history and identity of our nation.
A beautifully depicted, thought-provoking look at the vast expanse of
cultures that exists in America, the values that bring us together as
one people despite our differences, and the many ways we define what it
means to be an American.
