I heard it for the first time back in the late 1940s when Papa and Mama told me and Roberto, my older brother, that someday we would take a long trip north, cross la frontera, enter California, and leave our poverty behind." So begins this honest and powerful account of a family's journey to the fields of California -- to a life of constant moving, from strawberry fields to cotton fields, from tent cities to one-room shacks, from picking grapes to topping carrots and thinning lettuce. Seen through the eyes of a boy who longs for an education and the right to call one place home, this is a story of survival, faith, and hope. It is a journey that will open readers' hearts and minds."--|cProvided by publisher. 526 0 Accelerated Reader AR|bMG|c5.3|d4|z2485 538 Requires Boundless App. 588 Description based on print version record. 650 0 Mexican Americans|vFiction. 650 0 Migrant agricultural laborers|vFiction. 650 0 Families|vFiction. 650 0 Mexican Americans|zCalifornia|xSocial life and customs |vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Migrant agricultural laborers|zCalifornia|vJuvenile fiction. 650 0 Mexican American families|zCalifornia|vJuvenile fiction. 650 1 Mexican American families|vFiction. 650 1 Mexican Americans|vFiction. 650 1 Migrant agricultural laborers|vFiction. 655 7 Autobiographical fiction.|2lcgft 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJiménez, Francisco, 1943-|tCircuit |dBoston : Houghton Mifflin, 1999, c1997|z0395979021 |w(NjBwBT)bl 99010733|w(OCoLC)42706849 856 40 |uhttps://ereadil.boundless.baker-taylor.com/ng/view/ library/title/0029153969
