Book Description:
Tomás is a son of migrant workers. Every summer he and his family

follow the crops north from Texas to Iowa, spending long, arduous days in the

fields. At night they gather around to hear Grandfather's wonderful stories.

But before long, Tomás knows all the stories by heart. 'There are more

stories in the library,' Papa Grande tells him. The very next day,

Tomás meets the library lady and a whole new world opens up for him.

Based on the true story of the Mexican-American author and educator

Tomás Rivera, a child of migrant workers who went on to become the first

minority Chancellor in the University of California system, this inspirational

story suggests what libraries--and education--can make possible. Raul

Colón's warm, expressive paintings perfectly interweave the harsh

realities of Tomás's life, the joyful imaginings he finds in books, and

his special relationships with a wise grandfather and a caring librarian.
