Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Seasoned picture-book author Glaser offers a compelling historical novel here, which an endnote explains was loosely based on the life of a member of her community." --Booklist Booklist, ALA

"Even reluctant readers will enjoy this riveting account and sensitive portrayal of what it means to be an immigrant." ––School Library Journal School Library Journal

"Glaser's first novel is an inspirational story that's clearly a labor of love and tribute. A fine addition to collections on the immigrant experience."-- Kirkus Kirkus Reviews

L'autore:

Linda Glaser is the author of many picture books for children. She was inspired to write this her first novel, after hearing the real Fivel speak to a sixth grade Sunday school class. She was moved by his rich stories and felt that she was somehow connecting with the world of her Eastern European Jewish grandparents, also immigrants. She lives in Duluth, Minnesota, with her husband and daughters. This is her first book for Houghton Mifflin.
