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 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51308447367456,"sku":"NEW0763676381","price":8.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81Os1V7qjjL_f375cc16-1813-4ca1-9f91-fdbf0def9e7d.jpg?v=1772820719","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-matchbox-diary-0763676381","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
