Immigrant Kids (Paperback) 1995c Puffin: A Beginning Book of Black Poetry

en Limba Engleză Quantity pack – 31 iul 1995 – vârsta de la 8 până la 12 ani

America meant "freedom" to the immigrants of the early 1900s—but a freedom very different from what they expected. Cities were crowded and jobs were scare. Children had to work selling newspapers, delivering goods, and laboring sweatshops. In this touching book, Newberry Medalist Russell Freedman offers a rare glimpse of what it meant to be a young newcomer to America.
