Ellis Island Passover
Marissa Moss shares a story from her own childhood in this Passover gem.
Miriam feels disconnected from the Passover celebration until Uncle Ezra shares the story of his first seder in America with her. Uncle Ezra gives her a broader, more personal sense of the meaning of Passover and the importance of sharing family stories.

Reviews
AJL Newsletter
“A satisfying addition to Passover collections in school and public libraries. While it will be appreciated most by Jewish readers, young Ezra’s solitary adventure and resourceful nature, and his great-niece overcoming her all-too-human grumpiness, will reach others as well.”—AJL News and Reviews
Publishers Weekly
“The book is as much about the importance of family stories as it is about Passover, underscoring how personal narratives can deepen and sustain heritage.”—Publishers Weekly
School Library Journal
“Recommended. This is a part of history that needs to be shared.”—School Library Journal
