"And Now, Miguel" by Joseph Krumgold tells the story of a young boy named Miguel who lives in a close-knit family in New Mexico. Eager to prove himself and experience the world beyond his remote village, Miguel dreams of joining his father and older brother on their annual sheep shearing trip. Throughout the story, he grapples with fear and uncertainty but also learns about responsibility, tradition, and the importance of family ties. As Miguel embarks on this journey, he discovers more about his own identity and the beauty of his surroundings, ultimately finding courage and independence along the way.
