Summary
Step into the heartwarming world of All-of-a-Kind Family, Sydney Taylor’s timeless classic that brings early 20th-century New York City to life through the eyes of five spirited sisters growing up in a Jewish immigrant family. With warmth, humor, and cultural richness, Taylor paints an intimate portrait of family life on the Lower East Side, where daily chores, holiday traditions, and sibling mischief become unforgettable adventures. From the excitement of preparing for Shabbat to the simple pleasures of a visit to the library or the penny candy store, this novel celebrates the bonds of family and the values of kindness, perseverance, and tradition. Ideal for readers ages 8–12 but beloved by generations, this story offers a vibrant window into Jewish-American history and a universal reminder of the joy found in everyday life.
