Three students are immigrants from Guatemala, Korea, and Somalia and
have trouble speaking, writing, and sharing ideas in English in their
new American elementary school. Through self-determination and with
encouragement from their peers and teachers, the students learn to
feel confident and comfortable in their new school without losing a
sense of their home country, language, and identity. Young readers
from all backgrounds will appreciate this touching story about the
assimilation of three immigrant students in a supportive school
community. Anne Sibley O'Brien is one of the founders of I'm Your
Neighbor, an organization that promotes children's literature
featuring "new arrival" cultures. As the rate of immigration to the
United States increases, topics related to immigration are
increasingly more important in the classroom and home. I'm New Here
demonstrates how our global community can work together and build a
home for all.
