Summary: ... review for the book" Barefoot Heart"
Review: Barefoot Heart was written by Elva Trevino Hart. This book tells us some stories about a migrant child and how her grew up in America. The story started when Elva was three-year-old. In 1953, her family started to move to Minnesota and work in the fields. After that, their life were just move from this place to another place and working in the fields all the time. Elva was the youngest child in her family, and she also was the luckiest one. She had good education and she found a good job. But she still would like to go back the life she use to have. I think this is a great book. In the book, we can see how lovely the family was, especially the love between Elva and her father. That really makes me tearful. I learned a lot of things about Mexican Americans, how their life are. From the book, I also learned how and why should I love my parents, and remind myself what they have done for me. These are what I would like to share with everybody.

Summary: the storyteller
Review: It was an assignment for school to read an excerpt from this book. I read the first couple pages and now am eager to read the rest of Mrs. Hart's book. I've never worked in a field, let alone had to travel with the seasons to do so. This has given me a better understanding of the life of a migrant worker.
