Description: In spontaneous taped dialogue, illustrated with informal photos, a young Mexican-American girl tells of her life. Graciela lives in a small town in Texas near the Mexican border; her family - parents and nine brothers and sisters - is a large and loving one. The usual joys and concerns of home and school fill her days, but every summer her whole family makes the long trip to Michigan to work in the fields. Graciela tells of her family's efforts to better their lives through study and hard work, and of the prejudice they sometimes encounter.
Graciela's story, illustrated with Joe Molnar's sensitive photos, makes a moving account of the life of a Mexican-American child in America today.
