One of a Kind: The Life of Sydney Taylor

I still remember reading All-of-a-Kind Family when I was a little girl. These children live in a big city, not a little town like me, I thought. The family lives in an apartment, not a house like everyone I knew did. The family is Jewish with different traditions than I had experienced. It is one of those books that opened my eyes to the fact that people had many different ways of living in the world.

This book is the story of the author of All-of-a-Kind Family, Sydney Taylor. It tells the story of the bold girl, Sarah Brenner, who shared stories of her life as part of an immigrant family in New York City, with a focus on her family's Jewish traditions.
