This book was very sweet to read. I read it to my family when it arrived on are doorstep. This book is about familie's who move from there original country to the U.S.A to become citizens they all are in a hurry to get downtown to a huge building where you become citizens they all had to put there hands on there hearts and say a speech that would make them officially citizens of the U.S.A. This book isn't representing one family or person it's representing several familie's from different country's like China, Russia, Mexico, Greece, Vietnam, Egypt, Ghana, Scotland, El Salvador, Dominican Republic and The Philippines this book even includes a glossary of names so if you get confused with the names you can look at the back of the book and get to know them better and plus a little section about becoming a citizen and what they had to say to become one. Perfectly good purchase and good timing.

Confusing! After reading the first page it is difficult to understand where the author is going as she does not clearly define the different families. Great theme, of addressing citizenship, but needs a clearer approach. Not a book I would reccomend for 4th grade.
