Overview
En la casa de la abuela -en las montaƱas de MĆ©xico- los sĆ”bados estaban llenos de familiares y de mucho sol. Areli era buena jugando al escondite y aĆŗn mejor persiguiendo gallinas. Cuando Areli era sĆ³lo una bebĆ©, su mamĆ” y su papĆ” se mudaron a Nueva York con su hermano -Alex- en busca de una mejor vida para su familia. Cuando Areli entrĆ³ a preescolar, enviaron a alguien por ella tambiĆ©n.
Todo en Nueva York era diferente: grande, rĆ”pido y ruidoso. Areli casi no hablaba inglĆ©s y sus compaƱeros la acusaban de ser ilegal. Pero con el paso del tiempo y lentamente, Areli se convirtiĆ³ en una neoyorquina . . . aĆŗn sin ser ciudadana estadounidense. -AquĆ podrĆa hacer lo que quisiera -Areli le dijo un dĆa al cielo citadino-. AlgĆŗn dĆa lo lograrĆ©.
Ćsta es una conmovedora historia -que evoca la de millones de inmigrantes que son parte Ćntegra de nuestro paĆs- acerca de una niƱa que vive en dos mundos, una niƱa cuya solicitud de DACA fue eventualmente aprobada y que ahora vive el sueƱo americano.
In the first picture book written by a DACA dreamer Areli Morales tells her own powerful and vibrant immigration story in this Spanish translation companion book.
When Areli was just a baby, her mama and papa moved from Mexico to New York with her brother, Alex, to make a better life for the family--and when she was in kindergarten, they sent for her, too.
Everything in New York was different. Gone were the Saturdays at Abuela's house, filled with cousins and sunshine. Instead, things were busy and fast and noisy. Areli's limited English came out wrong, and schoolmates accused her of being illegal. But time passed, and Areli slowly became a New Yorker--although not an American citizen. "I could do anything here," Areli says one day to the city sky. "Someday, I will."
This is a moving story--one that resonates with millions of immigrants who make up the fabric of our country--about one girl living in two worlds, a girl whose DACA application was eventually approved and who is now living her American dream.
