Angelina's Island

32 pp. | Farrar/Foster | May, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-30349-5 $16.00
(4) K-3 New immigrant Angelina yearns for her Jamaican home. Participating in a Carnival parade helps her feel like New York is her "island in the sun." The conclusion is too tidy and the contrast between new life and old overly sentimentalized. But Angelina's story should help children gain appreciation for the adjustment new immigrants must make.
