Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte, and Gertie are back! In the fourth entry in the All-of-a-Kind Family series—set right after the first book—Charlie is growing up. Ella gets a big role in the Purim play, Henny gets into trouble at school and runs away from home, Sarah gets her ears pierced, Charlotte has a scary kitchen accident, and Gertie finally is old enough to have a book of her own. Life is never dull for this one-of-a-kind family!

Born in 1904 on New York's Lower East Side, Sydney Taylor was one of the first authors of children's books centered on Jewish characters, and is especially known for the immensely popular All-of-a-Kind Family series. The Sydney Taylor Book Award is given each year by the Jewish Association of Libraries to a book for young people that authentically portrays the Jewish experience.

About the Author

Born in 1904 on New York's Lower East Side, Sydney Taylor was one of the first authors of children’s books centered on Jewish characters. She didn’t begin writing until she married and had a daughter, to whom she told bedtime stories about growing up with five sisters. She wrote a manuscript and put it in a drawer, and it wasn’t until her husband secretly submitted it to Charles A. Follet Award for Writing that Taylor’s bedtime stories became the immensely popular All-of-a-Kind Family series.

Taylor died in 1978 at the age of seventy-three. The Sydney Taylor Book Award is given each year by the Jewish Association of Libraries to a book for young people that authentically portrays the Jewish experience.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Americanization of Us
    Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I read the whole series when I was a child,starting with All of a Kind Family, all the way to the last title. They were all fabulous. For the information of potential readers, the library mentioned in the first book , on East Broadway in NYC, is still there, a working library. If you visit NYC you can see it. The books present a picture of the way immigrants families worked hard to become Americans, just as they continue to today.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not only an engaging depiction of immigrant life on New York’s Liwer East Sude
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2023
    This series was given to me by my mother, the daughter of a Hewish immugrant who grew up on the Liwer East Side of New York City at the time these stories took place. It went a long way toward educating me about my family origins, as well as being simply an engaging read.

    I feel strongly that in today’s twisted sociopolitical climate, books like these are critical for young readers to understand and develop empathy for a culture long set apart during certain periods of history. Before the distortions and lies reach their ears, the knowledge humanity and understanding conveyed by Sidney Taylor’s series is an important antidote to the tropes and bigotry espoused by an alarmingly, rapudly growing segment of the American population.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Not accurate description of the book
    Reviewed in Canada on May 22, 2023

    This book is suitable if you are looking for a book about the religious and other customs celebrated by the Jewish family. It should be stated in the description. I bought this book by mistake.
