First edition of Milly and the Macy's Parade by Shana Corey, Brett Helquist. Based on the true story of the first Macy's parade.
Written by Shana Corey. Illustrated by Brett Helquist. October 2002, first edition, first printing. Scholastic Press.
As a great fan of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade I strive to pass on the tradition to the next generation. A great book to read to the kiddos the night before!
"It was 1924, Milly's first year in America, and all over New York Cit people were hustling and bustling about getting ready for the holidays.
"At the center of all the hubbub was Macy's, the great department store where Milly's papa worked. And watching it all from his private penthouse office was Mr. Macy."
Front flap:
"Inspired by the true story behind the first Macy's parade in 1924, this heart-warming tale celebrates a treasured American past time.
"When a spirited little girl named Milly imagines a way to combine her family's old country traditions with their new American heritage, the result is a holiday season filled with mirth and magic - and the creation of a uniquely American event."
Shana Corey has written many wonderful children's books, including You Forgot Your Skirt, Amelia Bloomer!, Players in Pigtails, Mermaid Queen, and Here Come the Girl Scouts.
Brett Helquist is the outstanding illustrator of the Lemony Snicket books.
