DESCRIPTION:
The Golden Cap Judith Hamilton 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.. "A Golden Gft" according to Jennifer Jones. 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.. I loved learning about the golden cap! 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.

But Etje's dearly loved grandmother wants Etje to stay with her in Holland. After much deliberation, Etje's papa allows her to stay behind with her Beppe, and that choice leads to events that form the heart of the story.This beautifully illustrated story book for ages 6-10 is sure to be treasured and remembered by children,teachers, parents and grandparents.
