This is another picture book that K. enjoyed having read to her again and again. It is about Jewish immigrants who left their two youngest children in Europe with relatives. Annala, the youngest daughter, wants to know when her brothers will be coming to America, but meanwhile she starts school and begins to learn English. After a year her Aunt and Uncle come to America and bring their new baby and her brothers.
At one point when the family is all together again, the Aunt uses a dresser drawer for the baby to sleep in. After we had read the book a few times I saw K. doing the same with her dolls. I did point out that they didn't close the drawer with the baby in it.
