In this Jakers! Storyteller Playhouse video segment Grandma Alicia or "Abuelita" gives a book she's written and illustrated called Mami’s Flowers to her granddaughter, Aylish for her birthday. The book describes her living as a migrant worker in California. A migrant worker is someone who travels between countries or within a country to find work. Often the work is seasonal work, such as picking fruits and vegetables, and is very hard. Mami wanted to build a house but needed adobes, which are bricks made from sand, water, clay, and sticks or straw. When she built the house, she planted roses by the windows. Abuelita wants her granddaughter to remember her through this book.
