Books with title The Beautiful Bag

Beautiful Baby is the story of Lali, a teenage Hispanic girl, whose life is locked in the grip of the great migration called the migrant stream. Her life seems dead-end at best but something drives her to reach the goals she has set for herself, to reach into the depth of what makes her the person she is. She has been the victim of prejudice and racism. And, as if these obstacles are not enough, she has a mother suffering from depression and an uncle who harasses and discourages her from trying to reach her goal of graduating high school. Where does her motivation come from? Lali meets all of these challenges and more while on the road with her family, moving from farm to farm, under the gentle influence of Nana, Lali's grandmother, the heart of the family who guides and teaches them all, who encourages and nurtures their spirits with her gift of unconditional love. Although illiterate and unschooled, she is innately wise and compassionate. Her words teach life lessons which are universal values.
