It all starts when an immigrant named Oscar opens a barber shop...\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen Oscar lands on Ellis Island, he has only a suitcase and a down payment in his hands. And he has a dream-- to own his own barbershop. After it opens on the corner of Front St. and Second Ave, Oscar's barbershop becomes a beloved local fixture... until the day Oscar decides to move on and become a subway conductor. Over the years, this barbershop will change hands to become a lady's clothing store, then a soup kitchen. A coffee shop follows, then the space becomes an army recruitment center, then a candy shop. As the years pass and the world changes, the proud corner store stands tall, watching American history unfold around it. Barry Wittenstein and debut husband-and-wife illustration team Kristen and Kevin Howdeshell tell the rich, fascinating story of key moments in American history, as reflected through the eyes--and the patrons--of the corner store.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67908193976540,"sku":"ahu1793060673665","price":10.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0834\/4443\/3116\/files\/oscars-american-dream_1.jpg?v=1793060677","url":"https:\/\/fleatickcare.shop\/products\/oscars-american-dream","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
