Amazing insights into Mexican-American life

I really enjoy per this book. A ton of new vocabulary about daily life, particularly agriculture based vocab. A heart breaking but also heart warming story. If you’re interested in the life of migrants coming to the US from Mexico in the early 20th century, and how difficult their life was, this is the book for you. I was humbled as a language student to think this was written for 9 to 11 year olds. I have a 10 year old daughter and I have her reading this in English now. Highly recommend.
