About this title

About the Author:

John Bliss is a Heinemann-Raintree author.

From Booklist:

The Children’s True Stories: Migration series records the backgrounds and views of people who migrated during childhood. Each book offers general information about its topic and spotlights four individuals, telling why they left their homelands and how things worked out afterward. Sometimes based on interviews, sometimes on historical records, these accounts personalize the study of migration. Each colorful double-page spread balances paragraphs of text with illustrations, captions, and brief sidebars. In volumes with historical content, color photographs of sites and maps appear alongside archival photos and prints. Back matter includes a glossary and lists of books, websites, and places to visit. Nineteenth-century Migration to America discusses immigrants from Scotland, China, Ireland, and Italy. This series ranges further afield than most books on migration, and the focus on individual children adds to its appeal. Grades 4-6. --Carolyn Phelan
