A powerful introduction to the American immigrant story.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)When a little girl visits her great-grandfather, 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 wasn’t 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Fleischman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53094968688864,"sku":"9780606390972","price":44.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/714ks5zZjBL._SY522.jpg?v=1781656848","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/the-matchbox-diary","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
