In this timely tale of immigration, two cousins learn the
importance of family and friendship.
"A year of discoveries culminates in a performance full of
surprises, as two girls find their own way to belong.
"
Mexico may be her parents' home, but it's certainly not Margie's.
She has finally convinced the other kids at school she is
one-hundred percent American--just like them. But when her Mexican
cousin Lupe visits, the image she's created for herself crumbles.
Things aren't easy for Lupe, either. Mexico hadn't felt like home
since her father went North to find work. Lupe's hope of seeing him
in the United States comforts her some, but learning a new language
in a new school is tough. Lupe, as much as Margie, is in need of a
friend.
Little by little, the girls' individual steps find the rhythm of
one shared dance, and they learn what "home" really means. In the
tradition of My Name is Maria Isabel--and simultaneously published
in English and in Spanish--Alma Flor Ada and her son Gabriel M.
Zubizarreta offer an honest story of family, friendship, and the
classic immigrant experience: becoming part of something new, while
straying true to who you are.
