In this timely tale of immigration, two cousins learn the importance of family and friendship.

A year of discoveries culminates in a performance full of surprises, as two girls find their own way to belong.

Mexico may be her parentsโ€™ home, but itโ€™s certainly not Margieโ€™s. She has finally convinced the other kids at school she is one-hundred percent Americanโ€”just like them. But when her Mexican cousin Lupe visits, the image sheโ€™s created for herself crumbles.

Things arenโ€™t easy for Lupe, either. Mexico hadnโ€™t felt like home since her father went North to find work. Lupeโ€™s hope of seeing him in the United States comforts her some, but learning a new language in a new school is tough. Lupe, as much as Margie, is in need of a friend.

Little by little, the girlsโ€™ individual steps find the rhythm of one shared dance, and they learn what โ€œhomeโ€ really means. In the tradition of My Name is Maria Isabelโ€”and simultaneously published in English and in Spanishโ€”Alma Flor Ada and her son Gabriel M. Zubizarreta offer an honest story of family, friendship, and the classic immigrant experience: becoming part of something new, while straying true to who you are.
