Spanish Description

A Migrant Girl

Rocío es una niña mexicana que nació en un pueblito con playa. Pero un día, su papá decidió mudarse con su familia. "Haz las maletas. Nos vamos a Estados Unidos a tener una vida mejor". En breve, con prosa poética, Rocío recuerda el viaje y compara su nueva vida con la de su pueblo. "Vivo en un edificio de apartamentos con muchos vecinos. Antes vivía en un rancho con vacas y pollitos". En Los Ángeles, ella y sus padres iban en autobús, pero en México caminaban o montaban en bicicleta, ¡o incluso a caballo! En la escuela, habla inglés y almuerza en la cafetería. Además de la deliciosa comida que cocina su mamá, a Rocío le encantan las hamburguesas, los hot dogs y las papas fritas con cátsup. Con coloridas ilustraciones de Diana Zela que contrastan la vida en el campo con la vida en la ciudad, este libro ilustrado bilingüe acompaña a una niña que se muda con su familia a un nuevo país. Aprecia sus orígenes, pero también disfruta de su nuevo hogar. Finalmente, Rocío se da cuenta de que puede ser dos cosas a la vez. «Soy una chica de México y Norteamérica».

About the Book

Rocío is a Mexican girl who was born in a small town with a beach. But one day, her dad decided to move his family. “Pack your bags. We’re going to the States to have a better life.”

In short, poetic prose, Rocío remembers the journey and compares her new life to the one in her village. “I live in an apartment building with lots of neighbors. I used to live on a ranch with cows and chicks.” In Los Angeles, she and her parents take the bus to go places, but in Mexico they walked or rode bikes―or even a horse! In school, she speaks English and eats lunch in the cafeteria. In addition to the delicious food her mom cooks, Rocío loves to eat hamburgers, hot dogs and French fries with ketchup!

Containing colorful illustrations by Diana Zela that contrast country life with city living, this bilingual picture book accompanies a young girl who moves with her family to a new country. She appreciates where she comes from but also enjoys her new home. Ultimately, Rocío realizes that she can be two things at the same time. “I am a girl from Mexico and North America.”
