I See the Sun in the USA by Dedie King and
illustrated by Judith Inglese from Satya House Publications. The United States
of America is one of the most diverse countries in the world, with more than
326 million people of different faiths, cultures and ethnic groups. In I See the Sun in the USA,
the newest installment of the I See the Sun series,
readers are introduced to Stella, a young girl from Los Angeles, California who
is helping her mother make a video about families living in the United States. Stella
travels to Mount Rushmore with her mom and meets Rosa from Alabama, Jamal from
Massachusetts, Kristin from Iowa, and Martha from South Dakota. Each child
describes a typical day in their life to Stella, which is supported by colorful
collage illustrations.
With an increase in political divisiveness in the
USA today, this book offers young readers the opportunity to learn that
although there may be differences from family to family, the basic aspects of
everyday life are similar in every state. Children enjoy playing with their
friends, they learn new things in school and at home, and they appreciate
spending time with their families.
My Opinion: This book does offer kids insight on how
other kids live in different ethnic groups. But also reminds you where all the
same and should treat everybody with respect and love. The graphics in this
book with illustrations are nice and kids will enjoy reading this.
