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.

Un ano de revelaciones culmina con una actuacion llena de sorpresas, mientras dos ninas descubren su lugar en el mundo.
"Un ano de revelaciones culmina con una actuacion llena de sorpresas, mientras dos ninas descubren su lugar en el mundo."
Mexico es el pais de sus padres, pero no el de Margie. Ella ha logrado convencer a sus companeros de escuela que es cien por ciento estadounidense, igual que ellos. Pero cuando Lupe, su prima mexicana, va a vivir a su casa, la imagen de si misma que habia creado se deshace.
La situacion de Lupe no es facil. Siente que su casa de Mexico no es un hogar desde que el padre se fue al norte. La esperanza de poder encontrarlo en los Estados Unidos le da algo de consuelo, pero aprender un idioma nuevo en una escuela nueva representa un gran desafio. Al igual que Margie, Lupe necesita una amiga.
Poco a poco, los pasos de cada nina van encontrando el ritmo de un baile compartido, a medida que descubren el verdadero significado del hogar. Siguiendo la tradicion de Me llamo Maria Isabel, Alma Flor Ada y su hijo Gabriel M. Zubizarreta ofrecen un relato honesto de los valores de la familia y de la amistad, y de la experiencia que debe atravesar el inmigrante: volverse parte de algo nuevo y, a la vez, conservar la propia identidad.
