Field Mice: Memoirs of a Migrant Child - Bilingual Children's Book for Immigrant Families | Perfect for Storytime & Cultural Education

This book was very interesting and the author is wonderful in all the details of her story. I was a migrant also so I can relate to her story and everything she wrote is so true. The life of a migrant child is not an easy one and missing and starting school late is something that happens to these children. Some of us were lucky enough to have a teacher or mentor that we never forgot and who gave us a bit of a break if we were late to school. The migrant camps she wrote about even in different states and cities are so true because we never knew what we would be getting when we arrived at the camps. My parents always stressed the power of education so my siblings and I were lucky to survive and educate ourselves so our next generation of kids would not have to work the fields as we did. Reading her book I was happy to know that she also educated herself and I feel proud that even as migrant children we survived and continued as productive citizens. I read the book in two days and then I gave it to my sister to bring back memories of those days. I enjoyed reading this book very much!
