All the Way to America: The Story of a Big Italian Family and a Little Shovel

â€œThis immigration story is universal.â€ â€”School Library Journal, Starred
Â
Dan Yaccarinoâ€™s great-grandfather arrived at Ellis Island with a small shovel and his parentsâ€™ good advice: â€œWork hard, but remember to enjoy life, and never forget your family.â€ With simple text and warm, colorful illustrations, Yaccarino recounts how the little shovel was passed down through four generations of this Italian-American familyâ€”along with the good advice.
Â
Itâ€™s a story that will have kids asking their parents and grandparents: Where did we come from? How did our family make the journey all the way to America?
Â
â€œA shovel is just a shovel, but in Dan Yaccarinoâ€™s hands it becomes a way to dig deep into the past and honor all those who helped make us who we are.â€ â€”Eric Rohmann, winner of the Caldecott Medal for My Friend Rabbit
Â
â€œAll the Way to America is a charmer. Yaccarinoâ€™s heartwarming story rings clearly with truth, good cheer, and love.â€ â€”Tomie dePaola, winner of a Caldecott Honor Award for Strega Nona
