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 3rd book mentioned historical figures including Thomas Paine, George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson, who built the foundation of values and ideals on which America still stands.
