Milly and the Macys Parade

Inspired by the true story behind the first Macy's parade in 1924, this heartwarming tale celebrates a treasured American pastime. 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 & magic -- & the creation of a uniquely American event. Author Shana Corey lives in Brooklyn, New York, & has watched the parade since she was a girl. Her own grandmothers were children in 1924 & daughters of immigrants. Illustrator Brett Helquist received most of his research material from the Macy's archives, which helped him faithfully replicate countless details from the first parade.Corey, Shana is the author of 'Milly and the Macys Parade', published 2002 under ISBN 9781422351741 and ISBN 1422351742.
