A wonderful story about five families and their lives living in the Lower East Side of New York during different time periods. Each family brought a new flavor, cultures and traditions to the neighborhood.

Evaluation

This book is outstanding. Perfect for historical lessons centered around Ellis Island or even around different cultures, familial makeups and backgrounds in general. A delicately crafted story that requires careful analysis, love and attentiveness. A must read for teachers to place on their bookshelves.
