Molly y los Peregrinos (English, Spanish, Paperback)

This sensitive book examines the difficulties faced by immigrant children as they cope with unfamiliar traditions and cultural biases. When Molly, a Russian Jewish immigrant, makes a doll that resembles a Russian peasant for a Thanksgiving project, her classmates make fun of her. In an important lesson, the teacher reminds the class that Molly's family, like the pilgrims, came here in search of tolerance.
