"Little Aliens" by Myra Kelly is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the experiences of immigrant children as they navigate life in a new country, often highlighting the interactions between these young ones and their teachers, family, and peers. Through various characters, the narrative explores themes of cultural identity, adaptation, and the challenges of growing up in a diverse society. At the start of the work, readers are introduced to the classroom of Miss Bailey, a dedicated teacher who is deeply invested in the well-being of her students. The opening chapter illustrates the dynamics of this immigrant classroom, showcasing the misunderstandings and humorous interactions that arise among the children, particularly revolving around their various cultural backgrounds. As Miss Bailey interacts with her students, such as Isaac Borrachsohn and others, she lovingly attempts to bridge the gap between their home lives and their education, setting the stage for a rich exploration of the immigrant experience through the eyes of youth.
