Description An honest and evocative account of a family's journey from Mexico to the fields of California-and to a life of backbreaking work and constant household moves-as seen through the eyes of a boy who longs for education and the right to call one place home. A popular choice for community reads, as well as school curricula and curriculum adoptions, Francisco Jimenez's award-winning memoir, now brought to life in Celia Jacob's beautiful and resonant artwork, is a powerful story of survival, faith, and hope.
