Summary:

"Ahora para j©Øovenes lectores, la periodista ganadora de cuatro premios Emmy y presentadora de Latino USA de NPR, Mar©Øia Hinojosa, cuenta la historia de la inmigraci©Øon en los Estados Unidos a trav©Øes de las experiencias de su familia y d©Øecadas de hacer reportajes, con lo cual crea un retrato de un pa©Øis en crisis. Mar©Øia Hinojosa es una periodista ganadora de premios Emmy y la primera latina en fundar una redacci©Øon independiente sin fines de lucro en los Estados Unidos. Pero, antes de todo eso, fue una ni©Þna con una gran melena y sue©Þnos a©Øun m©Øas grandes. Nacida en M©Øexico y criada en el vibrante barrio de Hyde Park, en Chicago, Mar©Øia siempre busc©Øo la forma de comprender mejor el mundo que la rodeaba... y la manera de encajar en ©Øel. En este libro combina historias de su vida, desde la imborrable experiencia de pertenecer a una familia de inmigrantes hasta el momento en que escuch©Øo su propia voz en radio nacional por primera vez, ofreciendo sus observaciones y percepciones sobre la larga y complicada relaci©Øon entre los Estados Unidos y sus inmigrantes. Divertida, franca y colmada de sabidur©Øia, la historia de Mar©Øia es una que querr©Øas leer una y otra vez, y su voz te inspirar©Øa a encontrar la tuya." -- Amazon.

"In her New York Times bestselling adult memoir, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa explored the history of immigration in the United States through the lens of her own life story. Now Hinojosa has written a completely new book for young readers that interweaves the untold narrative of her youth with her perspectives about how the next generation can shape today's America. In a warm, inviting voice that gives the feel of an older sister dispensing anecdotes and wisdom, Hinojosa takes readers from her birth in Mexico to her family's journey to Chicago and through her school years, full of adventures, friendships, questions, and class plays that inspired her love of performance. Throughout, she reveals nuggets of history and encourages young readers to ask tough questions about this country's attitudes toward immigration and about their own identities. Like Stamped, this book offers an essential perspective on America's complex history with race and nationality, and readers will want to return to it again and again." -- Provided by publisher.
