Description
Eleven-year-old Maria Gonzaga lives in a rural area in the San Joaquin Valley, a small community of wealthy ranchers and Latino farm workers of humble means. She listens to people talking about their extravagant floats in the annual parade, and suddenly she finds herself saying that her family will also have a float. But how can her poor family compete with the wealthy ranchers?
