Inhaltsangabe

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 doesn’t 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 migrant’s perspective.

—¿Adónde vamos? –pregunto a veces, y no me responden.
Esperamos al borde de la carretera. No viajamos más.

Y allí hay un niño. Lo cuento, “uno”; no hay otro.

Papá trabaja mientras esperamos, como casi todos los días.

El niño se queda conmigo. Contamos lo autos que pasan, los perros que pasan, pero creo que él no sabe contar bien.

Le enseño mis nubes. Las que tienen formas.

Y él me enseña su cajita: tiene 2 conejos blancos.
