Illustrated by
Lydia Dabcovich.
Annushka and Tanya await word from their widowed father, who has gone to America, that they can join him. The sisters leave Russia one morning, endure the rigors of the journey and the Ellis Island examinations, and finally fly into their father's arms. The illustrations exude a folksy charm, while the strong, vibrant compositions reveal much detail about the period.
