I read all the Kirsten books. I like the little braids. My favorite is Samantha though.

The American Girl books are always a great read.  And Kirsten is one of the original three (my favorite as a child!).  Perfect to read with your kids, and still a nice comfort read as an adult.

I think Meet Kirsten may be one of my favorite American Girl books. It's very tender and captures such a pivotal moment in an immigration story. The book is full of excitement and hope, while still carrying weight for how frightening and heavy a journey like this would be.

HOWEVER! I am CONFIDENT that Sari did not need to be left in the painted chest. Surely someone had a pocket she could have ridden in?

Ahh, the American girl everyone told me to like the most because she was blonde, white, and Swedish like me. She definitely has a standout personality, hating school, being a bit rebellious…lol, things that did not describe me as a 9yo AT ALL. (That’s why Josefina is still my girl). Fun to read through these books again with my 6yo, who still has yet to choose a favorite.

Fue un libro súper cortito, el cual leí en inglés para ver qué tal iba mi comprensión, me gustó bastante en verdad, a pesar de que no pude entender todo al 100% si entendí la mayoría, es el primer libro que leo en inglés y creo que fue la mejor elección!
Me gustó la historia de Kirsten y su familia, aunque no está muy detallada se entiende el trabajo que pasaban las familias para emigrar, aunque aquí está más desde el punto de vista de una niña que no sabe todo el esfuerzo qué hay que hacer, de todas formas me encantó.
