Publisher's Note
In Guatemala City, thousands of children live, eat and work in the smoldering garbage dump in the center of the city, collecting materials for recycling and scavenging for items to resell. In 1991, photographer Nancy McGirr decided to start a project in which the youngsters would photograph their own world with the profits used to allow the children to attend school. For these children, photography has become a door to the future.

Industry Reviews
"The black-and-white photos exhibit both sensitivity and skill; the poems and paragraphs successfully convey people and moments."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Roger Sutton (03/19/1996)

"Its words, accompanied by black-and-white photos, mirror poverty in the eyes of the children so effectively that the reader will turn back the pages to journey again, more slowly."
Five Owls - Mary Bahr Fitts
