Paquettes driver en mejerifarm i Vermont, men er i fare for at miste gården efter deres fars ulykke. Familien Cruz er fra Mexico og er immigreret til USA på jagt efter et bedre liv. Historien er fortalt gennem øjnene af to 11-årige, Tyler Paquette og Mari Cruz. Denne vigtige bog hjælper eleverne med at opbygge en dybere forståelse af immigration og migrantarbejdere, og hvordan venskab kan nedbryde stereotyper og bygge broer til en bedre verden.
Studerende kan plotte karaktererne i en bog og skrive om hver karakter fysiske / personlighedstræk, deres interaktion med andre og de udfordringer, de står over for.
