Joe's Reviews > All the Way to America: The Story of a Big Italian Family and a Little Shovel

"All the Way To America: the Story of a Big Italian Family and a Little Shovel", written by Dan Yaccarino in 2011, was peer reviewed by Publisher's Weekly. It is a great picture book of an Italian immigrant going through Ellis Island with nothing but a shovel. His parents advice is, "Work hard, but remember to enjoy your life and never forget your family". This book made me think of my heritage, as my great grandparents were also Italian immigrants. This is a great picture book for elementary school students.
