Summary:
Children who are first- and second-generation immigrants can be at risk of experiencing identity crisis, self-depreciation, and low self-esteem due to intergenerational and inter-cultural conflicts. These young readers need books that show them that their experiences are not unique--and these books also carry the important potential of promoting general understanding of and tolerance toward immigrant groups.
