We Built This City: Los Angeles

by Philip Wolny

Perfect narrative non-fiction for young learners! We Built This City: Los Angeles teaches the history of the land that is now Los Angeles, the Tongva people, the immigrants that helped settle Los Angeles--like Mexican, Korean, Thai, Armenian, Iranian, and Russian, and more--and the city's metamorphosis into an entertainment and cinematic hub. It also features interesting sights to see when visiting Los Angeles like Dodger Stadium, the Hollywood sign and Chinatown. Also included are historical and current pictures of Los Angeles, a chronology of events in LA (from 1771-today including 2028, the year LA is scheduled to host the Olympics), chapter notes, suggested reading, glossary, and index.
