About this product
Product Information
"Pedro is very poor.""Yes, I can tell by the clothes he wears."I was mad because somehow the way they were whispering, it sounded like being poor was something very terrible.Meet six-year-old Pedrito, who lives on a South Texas farm with his mother, father, and younger sister. The year is 1941, and except for a trip to the big city of San Antonio, five hours away, Pedrito's life is the farm and the school he attends in a village a few miles away. Pedrito's father has the papers he needs to work legally in the United States, but that doesn't stop the Border Patrol from harassing him and his son. Pedrito speaks only Spanish and is frightened on his first day of school when he learns that he must speak English. Luckily his teacher, Miss García, is patient with her students, and soon Pedrito is sharing his new English words with his family. Pedrito also relates his opinion of outhouses vs. indoor plumbing and tells of a happy Easter decorating cascarones. Pedrito's World is a wonderful window on the lives and culture of a Mexican family living and working in South Texas.Arturo O. Martínez based Pedrito's World on his own South Texas childhood. He lives in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Reviews
Pedrito's World, a memoir-based children's novel by Arturo O. Martinez, was a finalist in the 2008 Western Writers of America 2008 Spur Awards Competitions. The award ceremony was held in Scottsdale, Arizona on June 13. ""Set in 1941 in rural south Texas ... the stories that six-year-old Pedrito relates illuminate his family and world... Perhaps it is the author's background in journalism that enables him to tell tales of his childhood so vividly that readers will be moved, and not by sentimentality but through clean writing and well-chosen details that breathe life into the characters and give heft to the setting."" Carolyn Phelan, Booklist (from TechAnnounce 7/8/08)

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
