Cuando su prima mexicana Lupe llega a vivir con ella, la identidad estadounidense que Margie había construido comienza a desmoronarse. Margie ha convencido a sus compañeros de que es como ellos, pero la llegada de Lupe la obliga a enfrentar sus raíces. Lupe, por su parte, lucha con una escuela nueva, un idioma desconocido y la esperanza de reencontrarse con su padre, que partió hacia el norte. Poco a poco, ambas niñas encuentran el ritmo de un baile compartido, descubriendo la amistad, la familia y el verdadero significado del hogar. Una historia conmovedora sobre identidad e inmigración de Alma Flor Ada y su hijo Gabriel M. Zubizarreta.

English Translation

Dancing Home

When her Mexican cousin Lupe comes to live with her, Margie's carefully built American identity starts to unravel. Margie has convinced her classmates she's just like them, but Lupe's arrival forces her to confront her heritage. Lupe, meanwhile, struggles with a new school, a new language, and hope of reuniting with the father who left for the north. Slowly, the two girls learn to move to the same rhythm, discovering friendship, family, and the true meaning of home. A heartfelt story of identity, immigration, and belonging from award-winning author Alma Flor Ada and her son Gabriel M. Zubizarreta.
