Un libro lírico y unificador que “inspirará a jóvenes lectores” y que “muestra magníficamente la experiencia inmigrante” (Kirkus Reviews, crítica estelar) en Estados Unidos, escrito por la ganadora de la Mención de Honor del Premio Newbery e ilustrado por el galardonado artista Raúl Colón.

Descubre un sinfín de contribuciones que todos los inmigrantes han aportado al venir a unirse a sus familias o a comenzar sus vidas en un nuevo país que llaman su hogar. Con sus esperanzas, sus sueños y su determinación, generaciones de inmigrantes han hecho que el tejido de este país sea diverso, vívido y acogedor.

Esta vibrante y oportuna celebración muestra a los miles de inmigrantes que construyeron Estados Unidos, así como cuán importante es que haya aceptación y luz para todos.
