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

This book tells the story of a man and how he worked hard and decided to come to America. Throughout the generations the family continued to work hard. The man who came to American was the great-grandfather of the author of the book. Now the author has children and he wants to teach them the values of hard work and family.
This book would be good to use in a comparative assignment that requires the students to identify the details as they compare the jobs that the little shovel was used for.
