We still need immigrants.

The story of an immigrant in a kids book. Third grade, probably. Very relevant now.

Informative book submitted by Xris on June 18, 2021, 12:13am From reading this book, I went to the website for Angel Island. I didn’t realize they took in Jews as well. Having a Chinese exchange daughter who will be in Santa Barbara, I’d like to visit the island if I go out to visit her now.
