    Nuestro primer eBook en inglés; relata la historia de una familia de inmigrantes que deja su lugar de origen y lucha por adaptarse a una nueva cultura y a un nuevo idioma en un país extranjero. Es también un cuento acerca de cómo los niños ven el mundo y cómo la indiferencia de los adultos aumenta su temor y su confusión.

    Though this animated book is the familiar immigrant story of a family that has to leave its home and struggles to adapt to a new culture and a new language in a foreign country, it is also a tale of how children see the world and how the indifference of adults amplifies their fear and confusion.
