Home Above & Under the Brooklyn Bridge

Most children's stories are about the protagonists achieving a dream or overcoming defeat. Not this one. Sure, our hero, Joseph Michtom, did fulfill a dream, but this story's highlight, for me, isn't that. This story is about the community of characters (mostly immigrants) and their stories.


Characters who lived above the bridge, and those who strayed and stayed under.
