This Spanish-language version of Jiménez's Pura Belpré Honor Book Reaching Out has been flawlessly translated. Jiménez's third semi-autobiographical tale takes him from home as he attempts to break out of poverty and get an education. The author's works about growing up in a migrant farmworker family are seminal for helping to describe the Latino experience in the United States.
