Basado en una historia real, este es el intr?pido y arriesgado viaje de una ni?a que decide cruzar la frontera hacia los Estados Unidos para trasladar a su familia a un lugar seguro durante la Revoluci?n Mexicana.

Es 1913 y la mam? de Petra Luna ha muerto mientras la Revoluci?n hace estragos en M?xico. Antes de que los soldados se llevaran a su pap?, Petra, de solo 12 a?os, le promete que cuidar? de la familia que le queda: su abuelita, su hermana peque?a Amelia y su hermanito Luisito, hasta que puedan reunirse con ?l. Juntos huyen hacia el norte y cruzan el desierto cruel en busca de un refugio seguro.

Cada noche cuando Petra cierra los ojos piensa en todos sus sue?os, especialmente el de aprender a leer. Abuelita llama a esos sue?os "sue?os descalzos" "Son como nosotros, indios y campesinos descalzos. . . no est?n destinados a ir muy lejos". Pero Petra se niega a creerlos imposibles.

Atravesando desiertos y campos de batalla, hambre y miedo, Petra mantendr? a salvo a su familia y la guiar? hacia una vida mejor al otro lado de la frontera de Estados Unidos, un lugar donde sus sue?os descalzos finalmente podr?an convertirse en realidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

2022 Pura Belpr? Honor Book - NYPL Best Book of 2021 - Texas Bluebonnet Master List Selection - NPR Best Book of 2021

Based on a true story, the tale of one girl's perilous journey to cross the U.S. border and lead her family to safety during the Mexican Revolution.

It is 1913, and twelve-year-old Petra Luna's mama has died while the Revolution rages in Mexico. Before her papa is dragged away by soldiers, Petra vows to him that she will care for the family she has left--her abuelita, little sister Amelia, and baby brother, Luisito--until they can be reunited. They flee north through the unforgiving desert as their town burns, searching for safe harbor in a world that offers none.

Each night when Petra closes her eyes, she holds her dreams close, especially her long-held desire to learn to read. Abuelita calls these barefoot dreams: "They're like us barefoot peasants and indios--they're not meant to go far." But Petra refuses to listen.

Through battlefields and deserts, hunger and fear, Petra will stop at nothing to keep her family safe and lead them to a better life across the U.S. border--a life where her barefoot dreams could finally become reality.
