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

informative medium-paced

4.0

A colorful picture book biography that tells the story of Wong Kim Ark. On March 28, 1898, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, holding that children born in the United States, even to parents not eligible to become citizens, were nonetheless citizens themselves under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Historical nonfiction that is suitable for elementary grade students.
