Book 1 in the Becoming America's Stories series
It is 1911, and nine-year-old Lily, an American-born child of Sicilian immigrants, loves to sing out her artist heart and prove to her family, especially bossy big sister Margaret, that she is not a little kid, but learns that it is hard and sometimes dangerous to be a big kid in the crowded Lower East Side Little Italy neighborhood, skirting old world traditions, crossing treacherous streets by herself, and tackling bigotry, disasters, and dotty bakers.
