#287 Okie- Antonio Ruiz-Camacho
Bernardo and his family have moved from Mexico to Palo Alto,
fled is more like it. Nobody will tell him why they had to move or when they
will move back. He is insecure and quiet and feels weird in his new school.
The teacher gives him special attention until he can find
friends, which he does. Children are resilient but sensitive. It’s hard to fit
in if you’re the new person, from a strange place with a weird way about you.
But things change if you are patient.
He has a journal to write in, but he doesn’t need that as
long as he can talk with his live-in nanny, Josephina (seriously, how many
stories do we have with rich kids and live-in nannies...seems like every other one), but even that he will
grow out of.
