Champ is a champ!
Happy to announce that the historical fiction picture book Welcome to America, Champ! by Catherine Stier and illustrated by
Doris Ettlinger was named a 2014 Bank Street College of Education Best Books of
the Year for Children!
In this WWII era story, young Thomas, his mother, and baby brother journey from war torn England to a new home in America aboard the great ship The Queen Mary. During the 1946 "Brides and Babies" voyages, thousands of war brides just like Thomas's mother embarked on transatlantic crossings to the U.S. to join the American servicemen they married during the war -- and begin a new life in a new country.
