This handbook provides parents and caregivers with concise, step-by-step instructions for explaining immigration in a way that is both informative and inclusive.

2. Define immigration basics.
3. Talk about genetics and your own family heritage.
4. Answer common questions from kids about immigration.
5. Cultivate an immigrant-friendly environment at home.
