(3) K-3 This creative nonfiction picture book chronicles the Peters family's emigration from Germany to America in the mid-nineteenth century. The account, translated from German, balances straightforward information with genuine investment in the family's experience. Vibrant pencil and watercolor illustrations enhance the story's development. The tale comes full circle 150 years later with Peters descendants traveling to Germany to see their ancestral home.
