"Mexicans have long been discriminated against in the United States. After the Mexican-American War ended in 1848, many tried to hide their true heritage so they would be considered white and treated with dignity by the majority of Americans. However, by the 1960s, many had grown tired of hiding who they were. This volume's age-appropriate main text, enhanced by engaging sidebars and informative fact boxes, tells readers the story of Mexican-Americans' struggle for civil rights and their proud celebration of their heritage"--Provided by publisher.

"As Donald Trump's impeachments dominated the news for months, children have likely been hearing the term 'impeachment' with little to no concept of what it means. Even many adults have found that they have misconceptions about what impeachment is. As this process is meant to safeguard the integrity of not just the presidency but many civic offices, it's important for all informed citizens to understand it. Photographs and . . . fact boxes enhance readers' understanding of this complex yet crucial political process, giving them the tools they need to think critically about the responsibilities of our elected officials"--Provided by publisher.
