About This Book
Tomas, the son of migrant workers, spends his summer following crops north from Texas to Iowa, spending long hard days in the field. At night they listen to Grandfather's stories until Tomas knows them all by heart. When Grandfather tells Tomas that there are more stories in the library, a whole new world is opened for a young reader.
Mora's inspirational story suggests all that libraries — and education — can make possible.
