A timely and beautiful look at America's rich history of immigration and diversity, from Faith Ringgold, the Coretta Scott King and Caldecot Honor winning creator of Tar BeachFrom the Native Americans who first called this land their home, to the millions of people who have flocked to its shores ever since, America is a country rich in diversity. Some of our ancestors were driven by dreams and hope. Others came in chains, or were escaping poverty or persecution. No matter what brought them here, each person embodied a unique gift--their art and music, their determination and grit, their stories and their culture. And together they forever shaped the country we all call home. Vividly expressed in Faith Ringgold's sumptuous colors and patterns, We Came to America is an ode to every American who came before us, and a tribute to each child who will carry its proud message of diversity into our nation's future.
PRAISE FOR WE CAME TO AMERICA **A 2017 Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People** "As Americans wrestle with the moral and legal aspects of immigration, Ringgold offers a reminder of the country's multifaceted lineage--and of the beauty to be discovered at cultural crossroads.... The simplicity of Ringgold's text, combined with the captivating designs, makes this a compelling, must-have narrative for a wide audience."
-School Library Journal, starred review

Perfect for the men in your life!
Scent: Graphite Gray_4 Pcs
Honestly this is a great product for anyone but I bought one set to give to my 17yr old nephew who loves using the Dr.Squatch soap bars. The other set I bought for my soon tonbe 12yr old son. I bought him a charcoal soap bar for exfoliating & the bag is perfect for him. Lathers up well & has just the right about of coarseness to it to help scrub dry skin away. The bar keeper we use for my soap or honestly for my razor that seems to keep falling off its holder.
The bags are quite a bit bigger then I would expect for the fact a bar of soap goes in it. It would fit easily 2-4 soap bars. Not sure why that much room is needed but none the less, great product

Bigger then I thought it would be.
Scent: Graphite Gray_4 Pcs
The only complaint I have is that in the picture it looks like its about the size of a normal bar of soap. In reality though you could fit like 4-5 bars of soap in this thing, it's way bigger then I thought it would be, in fact it's huge. At first I thought this was a negative thing, but after using it a few times I realized that with the insert they give you it's fine and the soap basically stays in place because of the insert.
Quality: Seems to be decent quality
Value for money: Yeah I would say it's a decent value
Roughness: Doesn't seem too rough

A Winter Essential I Keep Reaching For
Scent: Graphite Gray_4 Pcs
I love these body scrubbers, especially now during the winter season when exfoliating dry skin is a must. The texture is just right and scrubby enough to smooth out rough spots, yet gentle on sensitive areas. I also appreciate how the pouch holds leftover soap bits so nothing goes to waste. The graphite gray color looks sleek in the shower, and the lift pads help the scrubbers dry quickly and stay fresh. They lather beautifully and make my skin feel noticeably softer after each use. This set has quickly become one of my favorite simple self-care upgrades.

Durability and cleanliness
Scent: Graphite Gray_4 Pcs
I use the soap saver pouch everyday. I honestly don’t use it for what it’s intended for besides cleaning my body. I use body wash instead of soap bars so it defeats the purpose. But this review isn’t about that. It’s more about the durability and feeling of cleanliness after using it. I don’t need to apply a lot of pressure because it is abrasive. So a light rub with body wash does the job. And if you’re to use it on your face like I do, you have to use even LESS pressure because face is MUCH more sensitive. I even wash my hair with it (I’m almost bald) but I have dandruff. I don’t have to use the shampoo anymore after scrubbing my head with this. Anyways I feel the soap savor pouch works very efficiently in getting all the dead skin off my body. I love using this product over a washcloth or those other products. WARNING: Not good to use for sensitive skin. Product is abrasive and will irritate sensitive skin.

As described—great for exfoliating and saving soap bits
Scent: Graphite Gray_4 Pcs
These myHomeBody soap pockets are exactly as described. They work well for exfoliating in the shower and are especially handy for using up leftover soap bits. The mesh is just rough enough for a good scrub without being too harsh on the skin. The graphite gray color looks nice and doesn’t stain. The included lift pads are a nice bonus to keep bars dry between uses. Great value for a practical 2-pack.
Q&A Section:
Q: Are these gentle enough for daily use?
A: Yes, the mesh exfoliates effectively but is still comfortable on the skin for daily use.
Q: Can you fit a full bar of soap inside?
A: Absolutely—fits full-size bars or small leftover pieces.
Q: What are the lift pads for?
A: They keep your soap elevated and dry between uses to extend its life.
Q: Do the pockets lather well?
A: Yes, they create a good lather and help stretch out your soap use.
