This is a wonderfully written and illustrated book that makes one long for days gone by. A feeling of peace and melancholy accompanies the reading of this children's tale that adults will enjoy just as thoroughly.
The Golden Cap is a golden gift to children with a Dutch heritage, and anyone who loves a good family story. The text and illustrations blend beautifully, and help us understand what it must feel like to want so desperately to be in two places at the same time.
This is a precious glimpse into the Dutch culture and the sacrifices families made to come to the United States. Thank you for sharing your grandmother's story! Beautiful illustrations.
The Golden Cap is a lovely story of familial love and loyalty. A beautifully illustrated immigration story that speaks to the heart.
