I thought this a good historical fiction picture book. Agnes's immigrant story shows how hard they had coming to this new place and trying to find the right place to set up home. How dangerous their travels were.

Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book! I thought this a good historical fiction picture book. The illustrations were extremely helpful as they told more of the story and added to Agnes's simple descriptions. I would highly recommend this book!

Historical Fiction is my favorite genre to share with my 3rd grade class because I hope it makes them think about how good they really have it nowadays. Good illustrations and text captivated my students while I read it to them. I will use this in my American pioneers unit, or when I do my social studies lesson on Homestead National Monument located in Nebraska.
