Gittel's Journey: An Ellis Island Story by Lesléa Newman, Amy June Bates

4.0

Terrific story from the wonderful Lesléa Newman educating about Ellis Island through the experience of a young girl. The experience is loosely based on two events from the author's family history, with a lovely author's note and links to further resources at the end. Highly recommended for educators tackling immigration history (and it is quite timely given the current border situation too).
