Elissa, the star of previous Elissa Discovers books, returns to learn about immigration and what it means to her family-all immigrants or children of immigrants.
When Elissa finds Grandmother crying happy tears over a poetry book by fellow immigrant Gibran Khalil Gibran, Grandmother explains how moving it is to feel completely understood by someone else's words. Elissa asks what an immigrant is, and Grandmother explains, then brings out her old brown suitcase filled with letters, photos, and postcards from family members living all over the world.
This illustrated storybook beautifully explains what it means to be an immigrant and how immigrants enrich their new homes, making it an ideal choice to teach children about tolerance, openness, and the importance of integration. Add the whole series to your bookshelf or home library!
