(4) 4-6 A lively narrative describes a family's decision to leave Poland and travel to America following World War I. While informative and entertaining, the recounting lacks the emotional undergirding that underscores the magnitude of the decision to emigrate. Cheerful, colorful illustrations and a generously sized format add appeal.
