Work hard.
But remember to enjoy life.
And never forget your family.
Beloved illustrator and children's book writer Dan Yaccarino tells the heartwarming tale of his great-grandfather's journey to America. In the land of opportunity, he finds work in a bakery, but soon has his own business as a pushcart peddler. His story, and his family, grows from there, and continues until we meet the author himself . . . and he still follows those words of advice given to his ancestor so very long ago.
. . .and, since this is Yaccarino we're talking about, you know there's gonna be some pretty nifty artwork . . .
Don't miss this one!
