Mexikid dreams: a graphic memoir

Pedro Martín is sick of strawberries. 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!
