Les Paquette exploitent une ferme laitière dans le Vermont mais risquent de perdre la ferme après l'accident de leur père. La famille Cruz est originaire du Mexique et a immigré aux États-Unis à la recherche d'une vie meilleure. L'histoire est racontée à travers les yeux de deux enfants de 11 ans, Tyler Paquette et Mari Cruz. Ce livre important aide les élèves à mieux comprendre l'immigration et les travailleurs migrants, et comment l'amitié peut briser les stéréotypes et jeter des ponts vers un monde meilleur.
Les élèves peuvent tracer les personnages d'un livre et écrire sur les traits physiques / de personnalité de chaque personnage, leurs interactions avec les autres et les défis auxquels ils sont confrontés.
