"This book was about immigrants and how they formed Canada. I really liked this book because it’s tells you about the history of Canada through the years. I would rate this book a 8/10 because it was very long and was kinda like a textbook. I would recommend this book to people that have the same interests as me. I loved the pictures and art in this book and how they describe everything that happened in Canada’s history. It was interesting that when I was reading through the book and came across a few pages that had pictures of places I had been. I have been to L’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland and Canada’s largest Chinatown and the second largest in the world that is in Victoria, BC."

"My attention span is running out, all of these Red Cedar books are boring me to death. Especially books like this. I rate this book a 2 out of 5 because it had good information but it wasn’t presented well, it didn’t keep the reader’s attention. It was about how people of different cultures came to Canada and thrived in their own ways. For example two Italian brothers started a business working with companies to get the companies Italian workers (later more and more Italians did this). Lots of people made businesses according to their traditions and how they lived (back in their countries) in hopes to draw more people like them together. For example the Chinese made shops selling foods from their homeland. Everyone likes food from home, right? People from the same countries would group together in the same area, the Chinese called their villages China-towns, the Italians called theirs Little Italy’s. All said this book was okay but it needed to have better telling of all the details it presented."

"This was a very interesting book. Love how this book talked about Canada’s past. It talk about immigrants move here and how Europeans affected Canada. If I was to rate this book it would be a 5/5 because it was so interesting. This is for sure my favorite out of all the Red Cedars."

"I enjoyed reading this book. I think that it was very deep and powerful. I’ve always liked reading books about Canada’s history and I thought that this really did a good job at that. I would give this book a 4.5/5 because I really enjoyed reading this book and personally I thought that it was worth my time and it didn’t have that many issues or things it could add. The only thing I think they could add in this book is a bit more on how the towns and cities developed. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes reading about Canada’s history or anything close to that because I thought that this book is the best non-fiction book there is for the Red Cedars 2018. I hope that they make more books like this one."

"The way this book taught me about Canada was outstanding! I thought that it would be very selective and only tell a few stories about how Canada was a long time ago. I was pleasantly surprised about how much variety of Canada’s history was covered. Even though Canada today is known for being a very helpful country, this story has shown me the ways our country had shown racism and discrimination towards different kinds of people and situations. Personally, I enjoyed how it showed how Canada grew and developed over many years. I learned and increased my understanding of many cultures and societies by reading this book. Many of the events that were in this book I never knew existed or, I had a blurry concept of them. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5. I would recommend this book to my fellow classmates who enjoy learning about Canada’s past, and how it helps us to understand Canada better. I am ecstatic to learn more about Canada’s past victories and losses."
