The Circuit: Stories from the Life of a Migrant Child
by Francisco Jiménez
This autobiographical short story collection from the 2002 Carnegie Foundation's Professor of the Year should be required reading for anyone involved in the lives of migrant families. Educators, policy makers, politicians, social workers, ministers - all will benefit from these simple stories written for elementary school age children about what it was like for Jimenez to be the migrant child. We can't possibly understand what goes on inside the mind of a child unless we've walked in their shoes. These stories provide the opportunity to take a walk in the fields of California.
