Title
The Matchbox Diary,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Instantly engrossing, free of selfpity, and resonant with resilience and gratitude . . . A powerful introduction to the American immigrant story. Publishers Weekly (starred review)When a little girl visits her greatgrandfather, she asks about the collection of matchboxes harboring objects she can hold in her hand, each one evoking a memory. Together they tell of his journey from Italy to a new country, before he could read and write: the olive pit his mother gave him to suck on when there wasnt enough food; a bottle cap he saw on his way to the boat; a ticket still retaining the thrill of his first baseball game. Newbery Medalist Paul Fleischman and acclaimed illustrator Bagram Ibatoulline tell a breathtaking immigration tale with appeal across generations.
