Created in the contemporary ‘chapter book’ form containing eight chapters and nine color illustrations, Vivianna Becomes an Arkansan, tells how a little girl from China helps her neighbor and his classmates learn to be citizens and responsible community members.  Built around the theme E Pluribus Unum, this engaging story of how a contemporary Arkansas classroom explains the basic governmental structure of the United States and Arkansas in the 3rd and 4th grades, the curriculum adopts a different mode of presentation- one modeled on the popular Chapter Book format, in which the story is text-driven and illustrations are placed in a more supportive position.  In the 3rd Grade the emphasis is on Arkansas and United States government and citizenship.
