California Reading Association Honor Book Award 2020 New York State Reading Association Charlotte Award Master List Escaping persecution for being Jewish, the Baline family fled Russia and arrived by ship in New York City harbor in September 1893. Little Israel Isidore Baline is only five years old. After arriving at Ellis Island, the first stop for all immigrants, Israel and his family are ready to begin a new life in America. His family settles in the Lower East Side and soon Israel (now nicknamed Izzy) starts school. And while he learns English, he is not a very good student. According to his teachers he daydreams and sings in class. But while these may not be traits that are helpful in the classroom, these are wonderful tools for a budding singer and composer. And by the time that Izzy (now known as Irving) is a young man, he is well on his way to becoming one of the most well-known composers in America. This vivid picture-book biography examines the life of Irving Berlin, the distinguished artist whose songs, including God Bless America, continue to be popular today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sleeping Bear Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585363803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 9.10w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sydney Taylor Book Award - Notable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2018 pg. 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/07\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2018 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2019 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e501209 \/ Write On, Irving Berlin!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.9 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Leslie Kimmelman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42925078085813,"sku":"9781585363803","price":14.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_deddab0f-21bf-49bb-ac63-f46d0c0c85e6.jpg?v=1687845074","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/write-on-irving-berlin-9781585363803","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
