Book Launch: America Is Immigrants by Sara Nović

This vibrant volume brings American immigrant stories to life in short biographies written by award-winning writer Sara Nović with charming full-color illustrations by Alison Kolesar. This is a deeply personal project – Nović is an American raised in a family of multigenerational immigrants, and Kolesar migrated from Scotland as a young woman. And at a time when public debate is focused on who belongs in America, this book honors the crucial contributions of our friends and neighbors who have chosen to make this country their home. Featured within are a wide range of immigrants – from war heroes to fashion designers, Supreme Court justices to pop stars, athletes to civil rights leaders, including:

Madeleine Albright • Isabel Allende • Mario Andretti • Desi Arnaz •Isaac Asimov • George Balanchine • Gisele Bundchen • Willem de Kooning • Oscar De La Renta • Marlene Dietrich • Albert Einstein• Alexander Hamilton • Alfred Hitchcock • Enrique Iglesias • Iman • Grace Jones • Henry Kissinger • Mila Kunis • Heddy Lamarr • Joni Mitchell • Pedro Martinez • Yoko Ono• Sidney Poitier • Wolfgang Puck • Rihanna • M. Night Shyamalan • Nikola Tesla • The von Trapps • Elie Wiesel • Anna Wintour • and many more
AMERICA IS IMMIGRANTS is a creative anthology that includes over 100 full-color portraits as well as roundups of immigrant influence on music, food, technology, and more, making it a beautiful addition to any book lover’s collection. But in addition to being the perfect gift book, it is also an antidote to this time of border walls and Muslim bans. It deals with powerful, timely themes of immigration, patriotism, the meaning of democracy, and the interest and strength to be found in diversity.
