A Pura Belpr Author and Illustrator Honor Book! An AL a/ ALSC Notable Children's Book! Papa Rabbit left two years ago to travel far away north to find work in the great carrot and lettuce fields to earn money for his family. When Papa does not return home on the designated day Pancho sets out to find him. He packs Papa's favorite meal mole rice and beans a heap of still - warm tortillas and a jug full of fresh aguamiel and heads north. Along the way Pancho crosses a river climbs a fence and passes through a tunnel guarded by uniformed bribe - taking snakes. He soon meets a coyote who offers to help Pancho in exchange for some of Papa's favorite foods. They travel together until the food is gone and the coyote decides he is still hungry for Pancho! Tonatiuh enlivens Pancho's story with the spirit of regional folklore and he adds cultural atmosphere in arresting flat folk art filled with cultural references.

With tenderness and honesty he brings to light the trials and tribulations facing families who seek to make better lives for themselves and their children by illegally crossing borders.
