Xochitl mourns a lovely garden and her family's small flower business, all left behind. Selling flowers on the street soon provides more than income for the Flores family: they begin to make friends with local storeowners and neighbors. But it is not until the family decides to start a nursery in its backyard that Xochitl begins to learn the true value of community in their adopted country. Basing his narrative on real-life events, prize-winning poet Jorge Argueta has crafted a tender, poetic, and moving story about a family's determination to set down roots and about their child's blooming among friends and neighbors. Artist Carl Angel's authentic and brilliant artwork splendidly documents this quintessentially American immigration story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Children's Book Press (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780892392247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.10w x 0.20d","brand":"Jorge Argueta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37878618980533,"sku":"9780892392247","price":10.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a6b511f4-0eb5-4adf-a77f-ff49a2efbc5e.jpg?v=1607573692","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/xochitl-and-the-flowers-x-chitl-la-nia-de-las-flores-9780892392247","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
