Tomás es hijo de trabajadores migratorios. Cada verano, él y su familia viajan a Iowa, desde Tejas, donde pasan largos y difíciles días en el campo, durante la temporada de la cosecha de frutas y verduras. Por las noches, a veces, se reúnen a escuchar los maravillosos cuentes de papá grande, el abuelo de Tomás. Con el tiempo, Tomás se aprende todos los cuentos de memoria. Hay muchos otros cuentos en la biblioteca – le dice papá grande. Y al día siguiente, Tomás conoce a la señora de la biblioteca, quien le abre las puertas a un nuevo mundo.

Tomás is the son of migrant workers. Every summer he and his family travel to Iowa from Texas where they spend long and difficult days in the fields during the fruit and vegetable harvest season.

There are many other stories in the library - Big Daddy tells him. And the next day, Tomás meets the lady from the library, who opens the doors to a new world.
