All the Way to America: The Story of a Big Italian Family and a Little Shovel by Dan Yaccarino Published in 2011
Read aloud to preschool/elementary aged students. This book is about an Dan Yaccarino's grandfather who was an Italian-American immigrant and arrived at Ellis Island with pretty much only a shovel and some advice. The book shows how the family heritage had been kept year after year as immigrant families never want to forget where they came from. This book was really intriguing to read as it showed that these families have a rich family background just like Americans do! Definitely recommend!
