About this item
by Anna Prokos (Author), Christina Tsevis (Illustrator)
Billy thought he was just going on a family vacation to Greece. But when he travels to his grandmother's village, something unexpected happens.
Under the branches of an olive tree planted by his great-grandfather, Yiayia shares her immigration story on the Nea Hellas ship and how she left her homeland with prayers and hope in her heart.
Through a vivid story steeped in history, Billy discovers his family's strong Greek roots--and that sometimes the luckiest trips bring you back to who you are.
In this fifth title of The Lucky Book Series, Greek-American author Anna Prokos tells the story of the Great Greek Migration, when thousands of people left Greece for a brighter future for their families. Based on her grandmother's own immigration to the United States, the author weaves a beautiful story of hope, faith, family, and the importance of understanding your ancestors' past so you can carry it forward to the future.
