Summary of A Flicker of Hope: A Story of Migration

In a vibrant Michoacán meadow dotted with milkweed and marigolds, young Lucía watches golden monarchs wheel southward like living prayers, each flutter carrying her hope that Papá—harvesting fields far to the north—will follow their winged ancestors back home. As the butterflies brave storms and borderless skies, Lucía learns how migration weaves families and ecosystems together, blending Immigration Rights with Environmental Justice in a story that hums with resilience. Nationally honored by the National Council of Teachers of English, the NSTA, and the ALA, Cynthia Harmony’s tender prose and luminous art create a soaring love letter to cross-border bonds and the promise that love knows no boundary. Perfect for classrooms, library storytimes, or community celebrations of culture and nature, A Flicker of Hope invites readers of all ages to witness how one girl’s faith can light an entire sky.
