This book is inspired in kids' flip books to create a kaleidoscopic view of experiences of migration in the words and images of Latino migrants.

It is based on Fotohistorias, a participatory photography project with migrants, carried out at the University of Washington Information School.

The stories and images in this book come from participants in Fotohistorias's research project, based on interviews and photos taken by migrants in three research sites.
