If you could ask the author/illustrator of this book one question, what would it be?
I want to ask the author why she dicided to make the beginning so tragic, because Esperanza could have had a better life if her dad hadn't died and then she could have had a better life, with her dad, without Tio Luis ruining their lives and and having better food, money, and of course, family. Since all that were taken away, and her mother got real sick, and I wanted the ending to be tragic also, that would have been so cool, and yeah.
