The All-of-a-Kind Family Series #2, #3, #5 by Sydney Taylor
First published beginning in 1951, Sydney Taylor’s All-of-a-Kind Family books are classics of historical children’s literature. They follow the daily adventures of five sisters—Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte, and Gertie - growing up in a Jewish immigrant family on New York’s Lower East Side at the turn of the 20th century. With warmth, humor, and vivid period detail, these stories celebrate family life, traditions, and the joys of childhood.
