More All-of-a-Kind Family

"More All-of-a-Kind Family" continues Sydney Taylor's beloved series about five sisters growing up in a close-knit Jewish immigrant family on New York's Lower East Side in the early twentieth century. In this second installment, eldest daughter Ella finds a boyfriend and Henny clashes with her father over her curfew, as the family navigates everyday joys and frictions alongside Jewish holidays and traditions.

Warm and detailed, the book (illustrated by Mary Stevens) is valued for its affectionate, period-accurate portrait of Jewish-American immigrant family life, and remains a classic of mid-century American children's literature.
