Description
Written by a former citizen of Costa Rica, this book is an expression of her way of studying to become a naturalized citizen of the United States of America. Her notes are clear and concise and contain everything one needs to learn to become a citizen, or brush up on being a US citizen. It is truly in field guide form, measuring only 7.31" x 5.31" x 0.69". The print is small, but easy to understand, and the content is highly useful to those who want to learn about American citizenship. 126 pgs, hc. ~Judy
Publisher's Description of How to Be An American: Field Guide to Citizenship
The current political climate has left many of us wondering how our government actually operates. Sure, we learned about it in school, but if put to the test, how many of us can correctly explain the branches of government? The history of politics? The differences and connections between local government and federal government? Enter How to Be an American. While author and illustrator Silvia Hidalgo was studying for her citizenship test, she quickly found that the materials provided by the government were lacking. In order to more easily absorb the information, Hidalgo started her own illustrated reference to civics facts and American history essentials. Shes collected her findings in How to Be an American, a freshly designed and illustrated two-color guide to all things America.
