Americans come from all over the world with lots of different ideas, cultures, religions, foods, and experiences. Some Americans are immigrants and others families came here hundreds of years ago, but all these combined experiences has made our great country a very special place to live.

Full of illustrations by Matt Faulkner, information is delivered in both regular text and sidebars. Although it touches on Native American mistreatment, slavery and modern immigration problems, for the most part this is an upbeat celebration of the diversity of America. Includes a timeline and an author's note with a bibliography.
