Más información sobre el libro

Set against the backdrop of pioneering life in California, the narrative follows two children journeying across the plains with a wagon train. Their experience is marked by a lack of wonder or monotony, as they observe the unchanging landscape and the serious demeanor of the adults around them. The contrasting inscriptions on the wagons highlight the gravity of their journey, reflecting the weight of the challenges faced by those heading to California, while the children's perception remains untouched by the gravity of their situation.
