Reviews
★ "Simply told but unexpectedly moving, the narrative honors generations of immigrant families and communities that have done their best to educate their children despite language barriers and poverty." --Booklist, starred review

"A unique book that would be a great asset to collections." --School Library Journal

"This tale will be at home in any discussions about American immigration and young people pursuing education despite barriers, as well as those focused more specifically on Jewish immigrants in this period." --The Bulletin
