All of a Kind Family
Illustrated by John, Helen
Meet the All-of-a-Kind Family—Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte, and Gertie—five sisters who share adventures and special times in turn-of-the-century New York City. From visiting the library and shopping with Mama to celebrating the Jewish holidays, the girls find excitement in everyday life. Sydney Taylor's warm and humorous story is based on her own childhood growing up in a large Jewish family on Manhattan's Lower East Side.
