About this book

Español

Que fue la isla Ellis?

Entre 1892 y 1954, la Isla Ellis fue la puerta de entrada a una nueva vida en Estados Unidos para millones de inmigrantes. Con los años, la isla quedó abandonada y sus edificios se deterioraron, hasta que personas de todo el país donaron más de 150 millones de dólares para restaurarla. En 1990 abrió al público como museo. Este libro ilustrado recorre la historia de uno de los monumentos más visitados del país e invita a los jóvenes lectores a descubrir la historia estadounidense y, quizá, la de su propia familia.

English

What Was Ellis Island?

From 1892 to 1954, Ellis Island was the gateway to a new life in the United States for millions of immigrants. In later years the island stood deserted and its buildings decayed, until Americans across the country donated more than $150 million to restore it. In 1990 it reopened to the public as a museum. This illustrated chapter book traces the story of one of the nation's most popular landmarks, inviting young readers to discover American history—and perhaps their own family's history—along the way.
