Description In short, poetic prose, Roc.o remembers the journey and compares her new life to the one in her village. "I live in an apartment building with lots of neighbors. I used to live on a ranch with cows and chicks." In Los Angeles, she and her parents take the bus to go places, but in Mexico they walked or rode bikes-or even a horse! In school, she speaks English and eats lunch in the cafeteria. In addition to the delicious food her mom cooks, Rocio loves to eat hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries with ketchup!
