The Dream Jar,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dream Jar: Dreams Are for Everybody (Hardcover)
The book was beautifully illustrated. The author wrote a very readable story that flowed well. Children will be able to have a glimpse of life as an immigrant child. Checked this out with my 10 year old niece and she would recommend the book to others.

The Dream Jar,
By
This review is from: The Dream Jar: Dreams Are for Everybody (Hardcover)
Valentina and her family immigrated to the United State from Russia. Papa spends long exhausting days laying brick while Mama and Aunt sewing for hours and hours each day. Michael, Valentina's brother, drops out of school to make money for the baker. Valentina wants to contribute to the family's dream jar, set aside to purchase a store, but everyone says she is too little. However, Valentina begins teaching her family and neighbors how to speak and read English and she is finally able to contribute to the dream jar. Well written and engaging, the characters come to life and the illustrations are colorful and interesting,
