"""I just finished reading Home of the Brave and will be adding it to my collection of favorites. Not only is this engaging compilation of short biographies chock-full of fascinating factual information, it is also accessible to elementary school-aged children. I'm thrilled with the variety of people who are featured in the collection, and I know that my students will love learning about how each one made a difference through their actions.""--Amy Dickson, 4th grade teacher and curriculum developer ""If your upper elementary or middle school students struggle to engage with history, this book will change their perspective. Featuring intriguing and easily digestible accounts of famous immigrants, students will discover new origin stories they've never heard of and teachers will appreciate the diversity of ethnicities represented. This book is a must-have to complete a teacher's class library!""--Kim Lepre, host of the Teachers Need Teachers Podcast ""This is the book you didn't know you needed--until now! I cannot begin to describe the level of awe I'm left with after reading this book. . . . I learned new things about iconic immigrants that left me overwhelmingly excited. I get to share all of these important stories--both colorful and interesting--with my middle school students and watch their faces light up with joy!""--Rachel Jamison, middle school teacher and founder of Fifth is my Jam"
