ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan tells the story of Esperanza, a young girl living a privileged life in Mexico, whose world is turned upside down by tragedy and loss. Forced to flee her home, she and her mother journey to California, where they must adapt to a life of hardship as migrant farm workers. The story explores themes of family, community, social injustice and resilience. Esperanza experiences firsthand the struggles and discrimination faced by Mexican immigrants in the United States, and must learn to survive in a world vastly different from her upbringing. Through the challenges she faces, Esperanza grows, learns the value of hard work, and discovers her own inner strength, ultimately finding a new sense of hope and belonging.
