Have you ever felt alone? Have you ever desperately wanted to fit in? America understands how you feel.
America dreams of adventures, making new friends, and being strong. But America’s first day at a new school turns out to be a nightmare.
Fortunately, America’s new teacher introduces the Welcome Wagon - a cart filled with books about real-life historical figures who also had trouble feeling accepted. When America falls asleep that night, Amelia Earhart, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King Jr., and Emma Lazarus jump off the pages to share their stories - inspiring America to return to school the next day and make their dreams come true.
While we never see America, Bob McKinnon’s lyrical writing and Thai My Phuong’s unique, sweeping art helps readers see the world through America’s eyes and encourages us all to be as kind as we are brave, because everyone always deserves to feel welcome.
Bob McKinnon (he/him) is a writer, podcast host, children’s author, and teacher. What unites all of his work is the desire to help people move up in life—just as others have helped him. Learn more about his work and his own American dream story at movingupusa.com.
