La Mariposa

I read a children's book by Francisco Jimenez which was originally in spanish, but now is in English. It's about a young boy who immigrates to this country and whose parents work the farms in California picking fruit. They boy doesn't speak English and attends school to the harassment of his peers and finds his only friend to be a caterpillar in a jar. He draws a picture of a butterfly in anticipation of it being hatched and ends up winning an art contest. At the end of the book, he gives his drawing to one of the bullies. Nice little story for a multicultural America, eh?
