This book is a great example of an informational book. because it is sharing the information with students that everyone is different. The illustrations and words show that everyone is different but no matter where they are from or what they look like...we are all Americans!

A good book which celebrates the diversity of America. Excellent pictures illustrating the many faces of America. While we may look different and like different foods, music, and clothing, we are all still Americans.

"I am America/I am proud/I am diverse/soft-spoken/and loud." The powerful poem in this one-of-a-kind book is enhanced by the accompanying photographs that represent children of diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds. The playful images and touching poetry work together to tell the story of America.
