Description

A vivid, heartfelt memoir-in-verse and picture-book journey, this story follows a young mother’s courageous decision to leave her home in Mexico and seek a new life in the United States. Arriving with a two-month-old son and no English, she navigates uncertainty, hope, and the everyday challenges of building belonging from scratch. Through lyrical, image-rich storytelling, the book explores themes of immigration, resilience, family, language, and the quiet power of dreams. With Yuyi Morales’s signature blend of tenderness and visual imagination, it captures what it means to start over—and to keep going when the future is still taking shape.
