Since he was seven, he’s spent every weekend and summer picking berries with his family under the hot sun. Sometimes it’s not so bad—Pedro’s an ace at “strawberry wars” with his siblings, and when a good song comes on the radio, the fields can come alive with music. But mostly, Pedro wishes he could just stay home watching Saturday cartoons, head to the beach like other kids, and not worry about immigration patrols. When his older brother gets a job away from the farm, freedom suddenly seems within arm’s reach: Pedro just has to prove to his dad that he’s ready to follow a different path! Maybe he can be a trombone player, or a cartoonist—if that’s even a real job. But as Pedro learns more about his parents’ and abuelito’s past, and the choices they made in order to open up more choices for him, he starts to understand that freedom isn’t just about leaving the fields—it’s about knowing where you came from and having the courage to draw your own life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Non-Fiction\"\u003e非小說 Non-Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Graphic+Memoir\"\u003e圖像回憶錄 Graphic Memoir\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Middle+Grade\"\u003e中童讀物 Middle Grade\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Mexican+American\"\u003e墨西哥裔美國人 Mexican American\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Family\"\u003e家庭 Family\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Coming+of+Age\"\u003e成長故事 Coming of Age\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Immigration\"\u003e移民 Immigration\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Farm+Workers\"\u003e農場工人 Farm Workers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Identity\"\u003e身份認同 Identity\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/search?q=Family+History\"\u003e家族故事 Family History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pedro Martín","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":52233253880114,"sku":"9798217002481","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":52233253912882,"sku":"9798217002498","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4772\/5106\/files\/9798217002481.jpg?v=1790206638","url":"https:\/\/starryferrybooks.com\/products\/mexikid-dreams-a-graphic-memoir-by-pedro-martin","provider":"Starry Ferry Books 星渡書店","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
