La mariposa

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Simon Silva. Francisco, a migrant child, doesn't speak English, and when he joins school he daydreams and watches the classroom's caterpillar, whose eventual metamorphosis mirrors Francisco's own. Adapted from The Circuit, Jim_nez's autobiographical collection of stories, the affecting text is less well served by the picture-book format and static illustrations. Also available in English.
