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 1st book starts with a timeline that begins in 1603 with the coronation of the English king, James I. More than three hundred years ago, the early communities built by first European settlers and these long-ago individuals are part of the story of how America became America.
