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

I absolutely love what this story has to say "work hard and never forget your family". It is important that children understand how important their family and culture is. One interesting part of the book was the tiny shovel. This Shovel was passed along from father to son as a reminder to work hard, enjoy your life, and never forget your family. I believe this book is a good diversity book and touches on the Italian culture.
