This is a beautiful story about the struggles many immigrants face today, exaggerated, but not by much.
This broke my heart on so many levels. The fact that this is so close to reality. The loss they go through, the need for survival.
I can't wait to read it with my students, I feel like it opened my eyes to SO much.
