Translated by Teresa Mlawer.
Illustrated by
Mira Reisberg.
A young girl describes how she adjusts to life in the United States as she evaluates the similarities and differences between her new home and her former home. Some things are the same, while others are vastly different. The child's viewpoint is conveyed through folkloric-style illustrations accompanied by a succinct, lively text in both Spanish and English.
