Miles away from their home in El Salvador, Xochitl (SOH-cheel) and
her family make a new home in the United States, but nothing is the
same. Xochitl mourns a lovely garden and her family's small flower
business, all left behind. Selling flowers on the street soon
provides more than income for the Flores family: they begin to make
friends with local storeowners and neighbors. But it is not until
the family decides to start a nursery in its backyard that Xochitl
begins to learn the true value of community in their adopted
country. Basing his narrative on real-life events, prize-winning
poet Jorge Argueta has crafted a tender, poetic, and moving story
about a family's determination to set down roots and about their
child's blooming among friends and neighbors. Artist Carl Angel's
authentic and brilliant artwork splendidly documents this
quintessentially American immigration story.
