(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Robert Casilla. Sixth grader Blanca, who lives with her immigrant family in the barrio, yearns for a better life. These poems reveal Blanca's hopes, dreams, and frustrations with both humor and poignancy; Medina's free verse lends itself well to treatment in both English and Spanish. The poems are accompanied by realistic black-and-white illustrations. Glos.
