Summary:
In this moving and timely story, a young child describes what it is like to be a migrant as she and her father travel north toward the US border. They travel mostly on the roof of a train known as The Beast, but the little girl doesnt know where they are going. She counts the animals by the road, the clouds in the sky, the stars. Sometimes she sees soldiers. She sleeps, dreaming that she is always on the move, although sometimes they are forced to stop and her father has to earn more money before they can continue their journey. As many thousands of people, especially children, in Mexico and Central America continue to make the arduous journey to the US border in search of a better life, this is an important book that shows a young migrants perspective.
En esta emotiva y oportuna historia, un niño pequeño describe lo que es ser un migrante mientras ella y su padre viajan hacia el norte hacia la frontera con los Estados Unidos. Viajan sobre todo en el tejado de un tren conocido como La Bestia, pero la niña no sabe a dónde van. Cuenta los animales por el camino, las nubes en el cielo, las estrellas. A veces ve soldados. Ella duerme, soñando que ella está siempre en movimiento, aunque a veces se ven obligados a parar y su padre tiene que ganar más dinero antes de que puedan continuar su viaje. Como muchos miles de personas, especialmente niños, en México y América Central continúan haciendo el arduo viaje a la frontera de los Estados Unidos en busca de una vida mejor, este es un libro importante que muestra una perspectiva de los jóvenes migrantes.
