All the Way to America: The Story of a Big Italian… by Dan Yaccarino

All the Way to America is a picture book that shows readers a story of a boy immigrating to America from Italy. It shows his journey, what he learned and his Italian family roots. I think this would be a good book to have in a 3rd-5th grade classroom because it has some complex words.
