I Am an American: The Wong Kim Ark Story by Martha Brockenbrough, Grace Lin

4.0

True story of the challenge to citizenship presented when a native-born man tried to re-enter the US after a trip to China, eventually leading to the Supreme Court decision that anyone born in the United States is a citizen.

Well paced with solid illustrations. Very good as an introduction for a middle grade social studies discussion on citizenship.
