Although a Mexican family comes to the United States to work as farm laborers so that their children will have opportunities, the parents still consider Mexico their home. The children do not consider Mexico home but come to realize and love their heritage during their Christmas visit. They realize their parents have made great sacrifices and left the home they love to give their children a chance for a better life.
Illustrator, David Diaz, uses his distinguishing artwork and features to add life and love to Going Home. His bold colors and black outlined drawings support the story by showing so much detail. The background to the text and illustrations are collages of Mexican Christmas culture.
