Description
Mexican author and singer Margarita Robleda has created a unique look at the immigrant experience in the United States through her endearing character Paco, based on the life of a young Guatemalan child the author met in Houston. Paco's family moves to the U.S. and the boy shares his experiences about the differences in food, culture, and language in a light-hearted way. Margarita Robleda purposely does not state what country Paco is from or where he moves to in the United States; she refers to him as a Latino child in the U.S. Children from all over Latin America, who reside here, will immediately be able to identify with Paco.
