A fiction poem written for the dark story book lovers! It is not an easy read, so make sure to be prepared. After all that time, I can not believe it to be Him. He has been my worst dream ever since that night, and now He wants me to fight? They can't see Him for who He truly is, still being able to look into His eyes and miss. He comes too close and whispers dominantly in my ear: "Be good, play along and don't you fear." Flowy hand movements now reach my neck. Sitting on the edge of the bed and lifting me, a bit of my back, I hear some of my bones crack.

A Common Core Exemplar Text by an award-winning author-illustrator team Tomás is a son of migrant workers. Every summer he and his family follow the crops north from Texas to Iowa, spending long, arduous days in the fields. At night they gather around to hear Grandfather's wonderful stories. But before long, Tomás knows all the stories by heart. "There are more stories in the library,"Papa Grande tells him. The very next day, Tomás meets the library lady and a whole new world opens up for him. Based on the true story of the Mexican-American author and educator Tomás Rivera, a child of migrant workers who went on to become the first minority Chancellor in the University of California system, this inspirational story suggests what libraries--and education--can make possible. Raul Colón's warm, expressive paintings perfectly interweave the harsh realities of Tomás's life, the joyful imaginings he finds in books, and his special relationships with a wise grandfather and a caring librarian. "A gentle text and innovative artwork. . . . While young readers and future librarians will find this an inspiring tale, the end note gives it a real kick: the story is based on an actual migrant worker [Tomás Rivera] who became chancellor of a university--where the library now bears his name."--Publishers Weekly

"The boxes in the attic are blocked by the ghosts of the past, All of them lying about on loose boards. It's difficult to reach them. Difficult to open them, but removing the weight of everything else, releasing the place from the crowd will clear them all. Uplift the fog, give a better vision, restoring the old library I almost abandoned." - Excerpt from chapter "Ghost of the past" "I'm at a loss of words, and words are my strength, but recently I'm at a loss of words, feeling the thorns spread to the whole of my body. Overwhelmed by you. You being nice. Too nice perhaps, overshadowing me with what is mine." - Excerpt from chapter "Overshadowed"
