Paquettes driver en melkegård i Vermont, men står i fare for å miste gården etter farens ulykke. Cruz-familien er fra Mexico og har immigrert til USA på jakt etter et bedre liv. Historien er fortalt gjennom øynene til to 11-åringer, Tyler Paquette og Mari Cruz. Denne viktige boken hjelper elevene med å bygge en dypere forståelse av immigrasjon og arbeidsinnvandrere, og hvordan vennskap kan bryte ned stereotypier og bygge broer til en bedre verden.
Studentene kan plotte karakterene i en bok og skrive om hver karakter fysiske / personlighetstrekk, deres interaksjon med andre og utfordringene de møter.
