“Inside Out”from The Circuit
by Francisco Jiménez
Francisco is the son of migrant workers new to America. He attends an American school and struggles to learn the language. A misunderstanding with a bullying classmate embarrasses him, but he feels better when his drawing wins first prize in a contest. During the year he studies a caterpillar in the classroom, eventually watching it cocoon and become a butterfly. (PB 51)
