Ellis Island was the gateway to America and the promise of freedom for thousands. Its walls are rich with stories. Its walls are rich with stories. In this book we hear myriad of those voices. First we follow a young person today. Her great-great-grandmother entered America through Ellis Island. As this young girl walks the halls of the famous site, she wonders about the past, the people, and their hopes, dreams and challenges.

Here, too, is the voice of Sera, an Armenian girl from the early 1900s. Fleeing the unthinkable in her home country, she longs to join her father in America. As Sera enters the halls of Ellis Island, she lives those same hopes, dreams, and challenges.

The voices of real immigrants -- their suffering in steerage, their first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty, and their journey through the Great Hall -- complete this touching look into an important part of America's history. A pivotal time and place is brought to life through a combination of many voices speaking in harmony.

Love these flats!
Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin, Size: 9 Wide, Color: Black White Faux Snake Skin
One of my favorite pair of flats! I’ve had these for several years and they are still comfortable, in good shape and really add a little spice to my outfits. I can wear these all day and not have any foot pain or discomfort as a result. The quality is good, fit is perfect and I tend to have difficulty with shoes due to bunions. Love these!!

LOVE LOVE.
Size: 7.5 Wide, Color: Beige
I love these shoes so much I had to write a review. So comfortable. Cushioned. Fits perfectly especially if you are more on the wide side. They are soft. Flexible. Easy slip ons you can walk around in all day. I want to try more colors.

Great buy
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Black Faux Leather
I absolutely love these Amazon Essentials Belice Ballet Flats! They are so comfortable right out of the box and fit my feet perfectly. I can wear them all day without my feet hurting, which is hard to find with flats sometimes. They’re also really cute and go with almost everything I wear. I find myself reaching for them all the time because they’re both comfy and pretty. Definitely a great everyday shoe, especially for the price!

Happy to find these, and that they fit me!
Size: Small, Color: Hot Pink/Oatmeal Heather
After reading reviews, I followed other's advice to get a size down. Glad I did!! After washing and machine drying, they fit good. They shunk enough to fit under my armpits and cover my bra, plus the shoulder length is not too long for my petite torso. I usually have to shorten any tank top straps by about 1/2-1 inch. These are not overly soft like a jersey blend. They are thick cotton, but 100% cotton. Only thing I've noticed so far that I don't care for is the slight bunching on the front of the straps, where it shrunk slightly odd, on a gray one I bought. Thanks amazon for offering these!

Very generous cut & really well made.
Size: Large, Color: White, Size: Large, Color: White
All cotton, 100%. Really well made. Great stitching and excellent weight. Very generous sizing. Lots of online clothing runs small, so I ordered a large and it is much too big across the chest and in armhole size. Should have ordered a medium. Will reorder. But this price was so good that I will not return the large. Will donate them to my local food & clothing pantry. I think they will be great for warm weather, but also for layering in these cold months.
