Description

In both English and Spanish, a young girl shares the story of how she and her family arrived in the United States. She describes her experiences as being "just like home" or "not like home."

Critical Reviews

After her family comes to the U.S., a school-age girl describes all of her experiences as 'Not like home' or 'Just like home, ' until she feels 'at home.' Useful for libraries serving Latino communities with a need for bilingual bibliotherapy on the subject of immigration.--Booklist

The child's viewpoint is conveyed through folkloric-style illustrations accompanied by a succinct, lively text in both Spanish and English.--The Horn Book Guide

Many children new to life in the United States will take courage form the girl's gradual assimilation into an urban situation.--Children's Literature
