This immigrant picture book describes a few kids and where their ancestors came from. For example, they all live in different parts of Australia, but one kid's family came from Ireland, another from Italy, another from Greece. Even though all of these people came from different countries, they are all living together in Australia, all doing the same activities and loving each other and their differences. All came from near and far to live in the same place to live in peace.

I think this book could be used for the classroom. It shows that people who traveled near and far came to one country to live peacefully to enjoy the same tasks on hand. It shows that people can be different and respect each other for their differences, and that can be a lesson used in the classroom.
