Lula Viramontes anhela ser una persona a la que nadie pueda ignorar: sueña con dirigir una carpa ambulante mexicana. Pero perseguir ese sueño es difícil cuando hay que trabajar en la cosecha de uva en Delano, California, cuidar a su madre enferma y a sus hermanos, y evitar que estalle el temperamento volátil de papá. Entonces Lula conoce a Dolores Huerta, a Larry Itliong y a otros activistas por los derechos de los agricultores, y comprende que su familia debe sumarse a la huelga. Una conmovedora novela juvenil en verso sobre valentía, familia y justicia.

English Translation

A Seed in the Sun

Lula Viramontes dreams of becoming someone no one can ignore—a daring ringleader in a Mexican traveling carpa. But life in the grape fields of Delano, California, is hard: she works the harvest, cares for her ailing mother and siblings, and tiptoes around her father's temper. When Lula meets activist Dolores Huerta, Larry Itliong, and other farm workers' rights organizers, she discovers a more urgent reason to raise her voice: the coming strike that could change her family's future forever. A tender middle grade novel in verse about courage, family, and justice.
