While this story might get a different reaction today under current border conditions, these stories are true.

They happen every day across America though I’ve personally never seen a child do this.

I imagine this book will make some people mad and some people sad and some people frustrated.

This is a story about a grandfather and his grandson whom are immigrants from mexico. It depicts their multigenerational relationship as the grandfather rely on his grandson to help translate english to spanish, and the grandson rely on his grandfather with working. Although the story may seem accurate for immigrants experiences, this book was not written by someone of the culture that is depicted, which can cause the story to be less accurate and not based on actual experiances.

1. The best age group to read this book would be lower to upper elementary school.
2.This book goes through the story of a grandfather and a grandson. The grandfather can't speak English very well and to find work he brings his grandson with him to communicate for him. He ends up finding work for him but the grandson lies about the grandfathers ability to plant flowers. So the grandfather and the grandson spend all day taking weeds out of the side of s yard except they come to find out that they took out the flowers instead. In the end the grandfather gets mad at the grandson because he lied about his abilities to plant flowers.
3. I wouldn't recommend this book in my classroom because it has a negative vibe throughout the whole book. The book is also written from a perspective of a person who didn't live through this situation.

This book may be a bit hard with its characters and meanings. It explores themes of honesty and integrity, portraying the grandfather in a positive light. I would use it carefully in the classroom, considering the different perspectives students might have. ( )

I think that this book is complex in the way that it paints the characters. I think that the genesis could easily be lost depending on the lens in which you read it. It is a book about honesty and integrity and paints the grandfather in a beautiful light. I would use this book sparingly in my classroom.
