A poetic narrative of the immigrant child's experience
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book presents a fabulous bilingual presentation of a Mexican child's experience in school in the United States. The poems tell of both the kindnesses and cruelties that the Mexican immigrant child faces in school. The translations are well done, and the poems can be read singly or as a narrative. I highly recommend this book as a staple of every bilingual classroom.
