*I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*

What Does It Mean to Be American? is a super cute drama/conflict-free look at what it means to be an American, and basically, it all boils down to: being a decent person who cares about your family and others and always trying your best. I really enjoyed this and think it’s a perfect book for children to get a grasp on being proud of who they are and helping others.

The illustrations are very friendly and I was happy to see that they included a lot of diversity so that all sorts of children can see themselves represented, which is so important. I think everyone regardless of who they are will appreciate the values that this book is trying to instill in our young ones. Highly recommended!
