Back in their village in Holland, Bram and Mama snuggle up in the morning chair, talking about the cowboys, mountains and bears they'll find in America. But when they immigrate to America in 1950,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Bram isn't just moving, of course, he's immigrating - from Holland to NYC! (I'm a sucker for any book mentioning my city.) The book neatly captures the anxiety most children would have at this sort of upheaval... and the comfort of having your old things with you when you notice new things (like policemen on horses) that you like about your new home. It's a bit wordy. Maybe not suited for the wigglier set.
