Being of Italian heritage, I needed this book (even though our grandparents came straight to Colorado). Italian, immigrants, working at low-skill jobs to make a living, family, brothers and sisters (their names!), life c 1900 ... I especially appreciated the darkness of the art; that was life before electricity.
(This is one of those books that looks like a picture book for young children but is really more appropriate for older kids.)
