Lily meets Salma Santiago by chance and the rest is history. Growing up in a small town that doesn't necessarily embrace change, Lily begins to realize what it means to feel different.

Evaluation

Truly, a beautiful story that really delicately focuses on migrant workers and their families. There are so many questions we never ask ourselves such as, "Where did this blueberry come from that I am eating right now in my comfortable kitchen." Truly a beautiful story with interesting friendship dynamics and a lesson to last a lifetime. A perfect book to add to your global literature collection.
