What does it mean to be a citizen? Maybe it means being a part of something bigger than yourself.  

President John F. Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” A country is not just a government, it is people. When citizens help each other, they are doing something for their country. 

If you become a citizen, you are joining millions of people who take responsibility for each other. Together, we build roads and bridges, educate our children and so much more. Citizenship means being part of a team. 

If you want to explore the idea of citizenship, or if you are working toward becoming a US citizen, check out these books.
