The Chinese / English bilingual edition of the history series How America Became America added authentic Chinese translation to the succinct and compelling original text in English. Also a great language learning tool to help children learn either Chinese or English by studying the American history. The 13-book series introduced how the birth and growth of the United States was shaped by centuries of thinkers and events. The 9th book of the series focuses on Alaska—America's forty-ninth state with a long and rich history. The National Parks are another one of America's great resources. How should land be used? To whom does it belong? Who should decide? Questions like these have played a major role in shaping the United States—and they continue to do so today.
