Carlos, his parents, and his sisters visit the family village in Mexico. Mama and Papa are very excited, but the kids don't know what all the fuss is about. If they really love Mexico, what could be the point of leaving for America just for 'opportunities'? As they watch their parents with the family, and sneak a peek at the two of them dancing in the moonlight to a song only they can hear, Carlos understands. 'They love it here because it's home. They have left home for us.' With clarity, warmth, and very few words, Bunting has explained those ever new American dreamers to yet another generation.
