Walls and Welcome Mats: Immigration and the American Dream

Migration is a natural, human act-seeking food, shelter, and comfortable environments is essential for survival. With the existence of national borders, migration becomes immigration-an intensely political issue. Immigration and the history of America are inextricably linked. Author Lars Ortiz explores the history of immigration in the United States from before the country was born to government policies such as the Chinese Exclusion Act to the building of a wall along the US-Mexico border. He also examines the backlash against immigration that so many immigrants have faced, and the optimism that leads people to seek a better future in a new land.

Waluk

Waluk, a young polar bear, wakes to find his mother has left him alone in their icy den. This is the way of polar bears, and now he must fend for himself. But he doesn’t know much about the world. While the other bears raid tourists’ luggage and beg for sardines at a research base, Manitok, a cranky old bear with missing teeth and a bad sense of smell, teaches Waluk about seals, foxes, changing seasons, and—when Manitok is caught in a trap—human beings. The humans, who think they’re acting humanely, plan to put him down, but Waluk rallies the other bumbling polar bears on a rescue mission. Waluk and his mentor go on to spend many years together roaming the tundra, until Waluk grows into such a wise, powerful bear that he becomes part of ursine legends. An afterword by the author discusses animal habitats and environmental issues.
