(2) K-3 Illustrated by Lauren Castillo. Castillo illustrates in ink and foam monoprints this sensitive, moving picture book inspired by former U.S. Poet Laureate Herrera's own life. Readers follow the child's experiences: he and his family leave their California farmworkers' village for a town and then a big city. The lyrical text's evocative language and imagery asks readers to imagine what it was like being him but also, more importantly, to "imagine what you could do."
