Voices from the Fields: Children of Migrant Farmworkers Tell Their Stories

This moving collection of photos, poems, and essays offers an intimate look at the challenges and hopes of the children of migrant farmworkers. From the details of what it's like to picking strawberries to the difficulty of moving frequently, Voices does exactly what the author intended — it gives a voice to an often overlooked group of children and families, and puts their strength and dreams into words in a way that students will be able to relate to. Most content is appropriate for grades 4 and up, but some is more appropriate for high school students.
