¿Por qué los jóvenes abandonan su país para caminar a los Estados Unidos en busca de un hogar nuevo y seguro? Más de 100,000 de estos niños han abandonado América Central. Este libro de poesía nos ayuda a entender por qué y cómo es ser ellos. Este poderoso libro del galardonado poeta salvadoreño Jorge Argueta describe el terrible proceso que lleva a los jóvenes a asumir las dificultades y los riesgos extremos involucrados en el viaje hacia lo que esperan sea una nueva vida de seguridad y oportunidad.
