As the US immigrant population rises, this book guides librarians, K–12 teachers, and higher education faculty toward new ways of exploring immigration-themed children’s literature in the classroom and library.
The United States is a nation of immigrants, and the millions of US immigrant youth deserve books that represent and reflect their experiences. Culturally responsive teachers and librarians can serve these young people and facilitate their sense of belonging by providing immigration-themed literature in classrooms and libraries. Meanwhile, US-born children can expand their understanding of immigration by learning from the diverse array of immigrant experiences represented in contemporary books.
Chapters written by youth literature experts from schools and universities across the United States support K–12 teachers, school and public librarians, graduate students, and higher education faculty by
· identifying high-quality contemporary immigration-themed literature
