All-of-a-Kind Family
All-of-a-Kind Family begins at the turn of the century in New York’s Lower East side. A sense of excitement abounds for five young sisters.
Meet Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte, and Gertie – who live with their parents in New York City.
Together they share adventures that find them searching for hidden buttons while dusting Mama’s front parlor and visiting with the peddlers in Papa’s shop on rainy days.
The girls enjoy doing everything together, especially when it involves holidays and surprises.
But no one could have prepared them for the biggest surprise of all!
- Author Sydney Taylor (1904–1978) enjoyed writing children’s literature. Best known for the five-part All-of-a-Kind series, she based this series on her own large family. After her death, her husband established the Sydney Taylor Book Award in her honor.
