This is a story about a grandfather and his grandson whom are immigrants from mexico. It depicts their multigenerational relationship as the grandfather rely on his grandson to help translate english to spanish, and the grandson rely on his grandfather with working. Although the story may seem accurate for immigrants experiences, this book was not written by someone of the culture that is depicted, which can cause the story to be less accurate and not based on actual experiances.

1. The best age group to read this book would be lower to upper elementary school.
2.This book goes through the story of a grandfather and a grandson. The grandfather can't speak English very well and to find work he brings his grandson with him to communicate for him. He ends up finding work for him but the grandson lies about the grandfathers ability to plant flowers. So the grandfather and the grandson spend all day taking weeds out of the side of s yard except they come to find out that they took out the flowers instead. In the end the grandfather gets mad at the grandson because he lied about his abilities to plant flowers.
3. I wouldn't recommend this book in my classroom because it has a negative vibe throughout the whole book. The book is also written from a perspective of a person who didn't live through this situation.

This book may be a bit hard with its characters and meanings. It explores themes of honesty and integrity, portraying the grandfather in a positive light. I would use it carefully in the classroom, considering the different perspectives students might have. ( )

I think that this book is complex in the way that it paints the characters. I think that the genesis could easily be lost depending on the lens in which you read it. It is a book about honesty and integrity and paints the grandfather in a beautiful light. I would use this book sparingly in my classroom.

Story about a grandpa and a grandson looking for a day's work. The Grandpa cannot speak English and the grandson, Fransisco, gets both of them into a gardening job, even though they both have no experience. Through this job, they find out at the end, they mess up the whole job! At the end of the day, the grandpa makes Fransisco make things right. They both learn the quality of a good day's work and being honest/hard working.

I honestly don't think I would use this book in my classroom. It reinforces some potentially harmful stereotypes that might not be the best in a classroom. It's more of a window looking into an experience rather than a total step in, into the Latinx culture.
