Reseña del libro ""Daily Bread" (en Inglés)"
Are You Looking For an Immersive, Beautiful Coming-Of-Age Story About a Young Immigrant Girl Growing Up in the Turn of the 20th Century?It is 1911. Crammed into a three-room flat in a Mott Street tenement, the large Taglia family needs all the help they can muster. Spunky songbird Lily wants to help by baking Daily Bread at the bakery like her big sister, Margaret. But Margaret says Lily is just a little kid, and there is more to baking Daily Bread than height and an artist's heart. Lily learns to navigate in a grown-up world when facing bullies, disasters, dotty bakers, and treacherous streets to cross by herself. Praise for Daily Bread:“Daily Bread is a humbling experience as you read through the chapters and gain a relationship with the characters. It embraces child labor, the hardships immigrant families endured during a time spoken very little about. I couldn’t put the book down and am hoping for a sequel. Daily Bread is brilliant.”Marie Yervasi, Youth Services Librarian/Programmer Westhampton Beach Free Library“Daily Bread is a page-turning story about family ties, community, and struggle on Mott Street in 1911. Antoniette Truglio Martin will captivate young readers wanting to know more about the immigration period as they travel through time with this heartfelt story about the way it was and how Daily Bread from the bakery wafts a ripple effect of meanings for the characters and their places in the world.”Adrienne Cirone Associate Principal K-6, Reading Specialist“Antoinette Truglio Martin’s novel, Daily Bread, is an impressive piece of MG historical fiction about the Taglias, a Sicilian family who immigrated to America at the beginning of the twentieth century.
