A powerful introduction to the American immigrant story.” —\u003ci\u003e Publishers Weekly \u003c\/i\u003e(starred review)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen 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 wasn’t 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.","brand":"Candlewick Press","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62276384719235,"sku":"9780763676384","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780763676384.jpg?v=1785543543","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/the-matchbox-diary-9780763676384","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
