About this title

About the Author:

Sarah De Capua is the author of several nonfiction books for children.

From Booklist:

Reviewed with Sarah De Capua's Becoming a Citizen.

Gr. 2-5. Two new titles in the True Books--Civics series inform children about civic duties. Becoming a Citizen explains the requirements for U.S. citizenship and the procedures immigrants must follow in order to become naturalized. De Capua describes the official paperwork, offers sample questions from the citizenship test, and depicts the ceremony honoring new citizens. Paying Taxes defines the various kinds of taxes levied by governments, clarifies what they are used for, and offers a brief history of taxation in America. No mention is made of tax forms and their complexities or of the role of tax professionals. Both titles feature large print, short chapters, and frequent, captioned full-color illustrations; each has a list of resources (including Web sites) and a glossary. Of the two, Citizen is probably more useful, especially in communities with high immigrant populations, but both books will serve report writers. Other titles in the series are listed in the Series Roundup in this issue. Kay Weisman
