More All-of-a-Kind Family by Sydney Taylor

The third in an oldie-but-goodie in the All-of-a-Kind Family series by Sydney Taylor. Ella, Charlotte, Hennie, Sarah, Gertie and the baby are growing up in Lower East Side New York at the turn of the century when an epidemic strikes. How does this affect their family? How does the family respond? What will happen to Lena, their Uncle Hyman's fiancé who is stricken, when usually only children are the ones affected?

Learn more about Jewish tradition and helping others sticken with illness in this continuation of the narrative about a delightful family.

First published in 1954.
