Paquetteovi vode farmu mliječnih krava u Vermontu, ali prijeti im gubitak farme nakon očeve nesreće. Obitelj Cruz je iz Meksika i emigrirala je u Sjedinjene Države u potrazi za boljim životom. Priča je ispričana kroz oči dvoje 11-godišnjaka, Tylera Paquettea i Mari Cruz. Ova važna knjiga pomaže studentima da izgrade dublje razumijevanje imigracije i radnika migranata te kako prijateljstvo može razbiti stereotipe i izgraditi mostove prema boljem svijetu.
Studenti mogu zacrtati likove knjige i pisati o fizičkim osobinama / osobinama svakog lika, njihovoj interakciji s drugima i izazovima s kojima se suočavaju.
