About the book:

In I’m an American by Darshana Khiani, with Laura Freeman’s exuberant illustrations, a classroom of children across many races, cultures, and origins explores the concept of Americanness as they each share bits of their family history and how their past has shaped their own personal American experience. A beautifully depicted, thought-provoking look at the vast expanse of cultures that exists in America, it shows the values that bring us together as one people despite our differences, and the many ways we define what it means to be an American.
