About This Lesson
This is one of a handful of children's books that tackles the perils and dangers of immigration. Using this book in the classroom validates the journeys of some of our students and allows for thoughtful reflection from those who have not had a border-crossing experience. This lesson plan was created by Caroline Sweet, a winner of the Tomás Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award Lesson Plan Contest.
