Description
A little girl visits her great-grandfather and discovers a collection of matchboxes that hold memories. Each one tells a story of his journey from Italy to America, including the olive pit he was given as a child, the bottle cap he saw on his way to the boat, and the ticket from his first baseball game. As they explore these objects together, Paul Fleischman and Bagram Ibatoulline tell a powerful immigration tale that spans generations. This beautifully illustrated book is a heartwarming introduction to the American immigrant story, full of resilience and gratitude. With its simple yet evocative storytelling, The Matchbox Diary is a must-have for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of family history and cultural heritage.
