Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote: A Migrant's Tale
by Duncan Tonatiuh
Text to Self Connection:
I appreciated the view point of this book and the author’s note in the back because my brother in law is an illegal alien from Mexico. He and my sister have spent almost 2 years working on his paperwork for a green card, but in the meantime he has had to work jobs for people who take advantage of his status by paying him low wages and making him work exorbitant hours. I appreciated migrant workers being portrayed as caring people who just want to take care of their families instead of terrorists or detriments to society.
Blooms Taxonomy Questions:
1.Why did Papa Rabbit have to go to El Norte?
2.Can you give an example of when someone took advantage of someone else in this story?
3.If it doesn't rain, what do you think the Rabbit family will do?
4.Why do you think Coyote offered to help Pancho find his father?
5.How would you feel if you were Pancho when your father didn't come home at the party?
6.Can you create a map of Pancho’s journey to El Norte, labelling all the stops where he had to pay Coyote or the snakes?
