«El diario de las cajas de fósforos» is the children's picture book by Paul Fleischman, published by Editorial Juventud in hardcover (40 pages, in Spanish).
A girl discovers in her great-grandfather's house a cigar box with matchboxes holding objects full of memories. Those objects tell of his journey from Italy and his early years in America, the story of a boy who, without knowing how to read or write, found a way to leave a record of his life. It addresses immigration and the desire to learn to read.
First edition in the Álbumes Ilustrados collection, published in 2013. Illustrations by Bagram Ibatoulline. Paul Fleischman won the Newbery Medal.
For children aged 6 to 9 approaching emigration and family memory through a picture book.
