**Today we begin our discussion of immigrants and immigration in literature for children and young adults.
Ann Jaramillo?s "La Linea" chronicles the harrowing journey of new arrivals crossing the border illegally from* *Mexico into the United States. //"1621: A New Look at Thanksgiving" offers insight into some of the earliest new arrivals to the continent and their relationship with the American Indians they encountered. Amelia Lau Carling's "Mama and Papa Have a Store" is about a Chinese family that emigrated to Guatemala. Beverley Naidoo's "The Other Side of Truth" chronicles refugees fleeing from Nigeria to Britain.
There are dozens of immigrant stories in literature for children and teens. What are some of your favorites, and why?
