Grandfather's Journey by Allen Say
5.0
This book tells the story of a mans grandfather who came to America from Japan. He gets homesick for Japan and returns. When he returns back to Japan he longs to go back to visit California.
I gave this book 5/5 stars because I feel it is easily related to. I love hearing my grandparents talk about how our family came to America. Since America is so diverse and known as the "melting pot," a lot of us have families from other countries. It's interesting to hear coming to America stories.
In the classroom I would use this book for students to find out how their family came to America and how they were established here. They could journal about it or present to the class. This would require them to talk to their parents or grandparents and hear the story themselves.
