This book is a good window for children that are trying to understand where did their family come from. Why we have so many different family traditions or do things in certain ways depending on where we are from. The illustrations help to open a sliding door for you to travel and leave with each character. It also leave us a message to always work hard, but enjoy life.

Clotie Simmons Jenny I love how you said this book cook be a sliding door for it's readers. The illustrator did a great job of showing us the family's journey, through their hard work and growth. After reading your review I needed to go read the book myself. I love how the author touched on the different aspects an immigrant may go through when going to another country. I think elementary children would learn and take a lot away from this book Thanks for the review!
