jjeepa04 's review for:
Esperanza Rising
by Pam Muñoz Ryan
I knew nothing about the involuntary migration of Mexican people from the US during the Great Depression before reading this book. Ryan reports that at least 450,000 people were forced to leave the US, some actually native-born citizens of the US who had never even been to Mexico. Many were arrested simply because they appeared to be Mexican. Ryan writes a beautiful and heartfelt story shedding important light on this heartbreaking part of our country's history. **Great as a read aloud!
