Description
This award-winning picture book introduces children to a largely known part of history: Mexican Repatriation. After the Great Depression hit, many Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants were told that their jobs were for 'real Americans.' Facing hostility and discrimination, many families chose to move to Mexico even if the United States was the only country their children ever knew. It's a moving story about family, loss, and dreams.
