Description

This Caldecott Honor-winning picture book is a touching snapshot of American history and the immigrant experience.

This is the story of Peppe, who becomes a lamplighter to help support his immigrant family in turn-of-the-century New York City, despite his papas disapproval.

Peppes family is very poor, and though he is just a boy he needs to find work. Being a lamplighter on the streets of Little Italy is not the job his father had dreamed of for Peppe. But when Peppes job helps save his little sister, he earns the respect of his entire family.

"A beautiful, moving book," commented Kirkus in a starred review.
