The Sydney Taylor award offered each year by the ALA is named after this author.
I loved this late elementary chapter book! Readers meet a family with five girls-Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte, and Gertie, who live in the Lower East Side in NYC in the early 1900s. Their unique, feisty personalities and mild adventures will delight readers. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Jewish customs and "living" with a Jewish family for a few hours. The series is based on the author's life.
*Highly recommend. Five books in the series -- This is book #1.
-Borrowed from the library.
