"Una niña y su papá emprenden un viaje hacia un lugar que la pequeña desconoce. Nadie le indica su destino. La niña confía en su padre, quien la protege y encuentra trabajo para conseguir dinero. Las ilustraciones muestran los obstáculos del camino hacia la frontera: hambre, deportaciones, violencia, pero también solidaridad, regalos y conejos. Libro álbum que requiere de una lectura de imágenes profunda para descifrar los símbolos. Un relato que retrata uno de tantos casos de migración."--Canallector.com. |

In this moving and timely story, a young child describes what it is like to be a migrant as she and her father travel north toward the US border. They travel mostly on the roof of a train known as The Beast, but the little girl doesn't know where they are going. She counts the animals by the road, the clouds in the sky, the stars. Sometimes she sees soldiers. She sleeps, dreaming that she is always on the move, although sometimes they are forced to stop and her father has to earn more money before they can continue their journey. As many thousands of people, especially children, in Mexico and Central America continue to make the arduous journey to the US border in search of a better life, this is an important book that shows a young migrant's perspective. |
