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

This is a great book to incorporate a child's family background. Many students have family or a relative who has immigrated to the U.S, therefore, when reading this story, they can try to go home and ask their parents where their family is from. Furthermore, this book addresses people that immigrated to Ellis Island New York seeking new better economic opportunities for their family/future families, which also serves as a history lesson.
