America meant “freedom” to the immigrants of the early 1900s–but a freedom very different from what they expected. Cities were crowded and jobs were scare. Children had to work selling newspapers, delivering goods, and laboring sweatshops. In this touching book, Newberry Medalist Russell Freedman offers a rare glimpse of what it meant to be a young newcomer to America.
Russell Freedman is the author of many award-winning books for children, including Newbery Medal winner Lincoln: a Photobiography, and Newbery Honor books Eleanor Roosevelt: A Life of Discovery and The Wright Brothers: How They Invented the Airplane. He lives in New York City.
