(3) K-3 Yaccarino recounts his family history, from his great-grandfather emigrating from Sorrento, Italy, to his grandparents' opening a market, to his own children growing up today. Throughout the generations, the "little shovel" brought over from Italy is a constant; it's now used in a New York City terrace garden. Warm, bright gouache illustrations in Yaccarino's typical style enhance the straightforward text.
