Gittel's Journey: An Ellis Island Story
Gittel's Journey: An Ellis Island Story | Lesléa Newman, Amy June Bates
3 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
Gittel and her mother were supposed to immigrate to America together, but when her mother is stopped by the health inspector, Gittel must make the journey alone. Her mother writes her cousin's address in New York on a piece of paper. However, when Gittel arrives at Ellis Island, she discovers the ink has run and the address is illegible! How will she find her family? Both a heart-wrenching and heartwarming story, Gittel's Journey offers a fresh perspective on the immigration journey to Ellis Island. The book includes an author's note explaining how Gittel's story is based on the journey to America taken by Lesléa Newman's grandmother and family friend.

Inspired by Gittel‘s Journey. If she could immigrate to a foreign country by herself at age 12, I can surely have some faith in myself. #childrensbook
