Reach for this book when your child is curious about where they came from or is struggling to find their place in a new, unfamiliar environment. It is a perfect selection for families navigating a move or for children who feel like the 'new kid' and need to see that every family has a story of arrival and adaptation. Through five distinct historical narratives, the book explores how different families immigrated to the same New York City tenement building over a century. It delicately balances themes of longing for the past with the resilience required to build a future. This beautifully illustrated collection serves as both a history lesson and a mirror for the immigrant experience, making it an essential tool for discussing identity, heritage, and the universal search for home.
