The state of Texas, has seen an influx of migrant students coming from a variety of countries.  The message that is often received by these students is that they should assimilate, if they are to be successful in this new country.  However, we chose to focus on the richness and uniqueness of the cultures most often represented in our classroom. This text set hopes to validate and celebrate the cultures of the largest groups of migrant students in Texas.

The questions that guided our inquiry were: 

-What cultures represent the life of migrant students in Texas?

-How can the cultures of migrant students be validated and celebrated through different texts?
