(3) K-3 A standard immigrant story turns dramatic when Fiona's Irish American family faces the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Polacco's own family history again provides the story's inspiration; an endnote reveals that the real Fiona's lace still exists. Polacco's emotionally resonant marker and pencil illustrations are equally adept at depicting the green Irish countryside and the grays and browns of Chicago life.
