En su primer año escolar, Francisco apenas entiende lo que dice su maestra. Mientras lucha por aprender un nuevo idioma, se siente fascinado por una oruga silenciosa en un frasco junto a su escritorio, preguntándose cómo se convertirá en mariposa. Aunque todavía no puede leer las palabras de su libro sobre mariposas, su imaginación lo sostiene. Esta tierna historia autobiográfica de Francisco Jiménez retrata la perseverancia silenciosa de un niño ante los retos de la inmigración y la barrera del idioma, y hace un suave llamado a la tolerancia en los hogares, las escuelas y las comunidades.

English Translation

La Mariposa

In his first year of school, Francisco can barely understand what his teacher says. Struggling to learn a new language, he becomes fascinated by a silent caterpillar in a jar beside his desk, wondering how it will become a butterfly. Though he cannot yet read the words in his butterfly book, his imagination carries him forward. This tender, autobiographical picture book by Francisco Jiménez captures a child's quiet perseverance amid the challenges of immigration and language barriers, offering a gentle call for compassion and tolerance in homes, schools, and communities everywhere.
