In 1994 Yuri Morales immigrated from Mexico to the United States with her son and there she discovered something powerful and amazing: the library. In this book she retells the story, from mother to child, of her journey as a migrant, unable to speak the language of her new home and country and feeling strange and invisible, to discovering the power of books in a place where all are welcome and ability that stories have to connect us in ways that seem unprecedented.
