  • Overview

    En estas extraordinarias memorias gráficas que acompañan a Mexikid, obra ganadora de una Mención de Honor Newbery, las divertidísimas peripecias familiares, las patrullas migratorias y las ensoñaciones musicales marcan un año de crecimiento y cambios para un niño mexicoamericano y su familia.

    Pedro Martín está harto de las fresas. Desde que tenía siete años, ha pasado todos los fines de semana y veranos recogiendo fresas con su familia bajo el sol abrasador. A veces no está tan mal: Pedro es todo un experto en las «guerras de fresas» con sus hermanos y, cuando suena una buena canción en la radio, los campos pueden cobrar vida al ritmo de la música. Pero, la mayor parte del tiempo, Pedro desearía poder quedarse en casa viendo dibujos animados los sábados, ir a la playa como los demás niños y no tener que preocuparse por las patrullas migratorias. Cuando su hermano mayor consigue un trabajo lejos de la granja, la libertad de pronto parece estar al alcance de la mano: ¡Pedro solo tiene que demostrarle a su papá que está listo para seguir un camino diferente! Tal vez pueda ser trombonista o dibujante de historietas, si es que eso siquiera es un trabajo de verdad. Pero, a medida que Pedro descubre más sobre el pasado de sus padres y de su abuelito, y sobre las decisiones que tomaron para que él pudiera tener más opciones, empieza a comprender que la libertad no consiste simplemente en dejar atrás los campos: también significa saber de dónde vienes y tener el valor de dibujar tu propia vida.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    In this extraordinary graphic memoir companion to Newbery Honor winner Mexikid, hilarious family hijinks, immigration patrols, and musical daydreams shape a year of growth and change for a Mexican American boy and his family.

    Pedro Martín is sick of strawberries. Since he was seven, he’s spent every weekend and summer picking berries with his family under the hot sun. Sometimes it’s not so bad—Pedro’s an ace at “strawberry wars” with his siblings, and when a good song comes on the radio, the fields can come alive with music. But mostly, Pedro wishes he could just stay home watching Saturday cartoons, head to the beach like other kids, and not worry about immigration patrols. When his older brother gets a job away from the farm, freedom suddenly seems within arm’s reach: Pedro just has to prove to his dad that he’s ready to follow a different path! Maybe he can be a trombone player, or a cartoonist—if that’s even a real job. But as Pedro learns more about his parents’ and abuelito’s past, and the choices they made in order to open up more choices for him, he starts to understand that freedom isn’t just about leaving the fields—it’s about knowing where you came from and having the courage to draw your own life.
