Cuando una estudiante es asignada el trabajo de completar un árbol familiar y solo puede contar tres generaciones atrás, Abuela junta a toda la familia, y la estudiante aprende que hace 400 años, en 1619, sus antepasados fueron robados y traídos a los Estados Unidos por esclavizadores europeos. Pero antes de eso, ellos tenían un hogar, una tierra, un idioma.

La estudiante aprende cómo la gente que dice haber nacido sobre el agua sobrevivió.
Cómo sembraron sueños y esperanza.
Cómo aprendieron nuevas palabras
para amor
para amigo
para familia
para alegría
para crecer
 
para hogar.
 
Con verso lírico escrito por la periodista ganadora del Premio Pulitzer Nikole Hannah-Jones y Renée Watson, autora ganadora de un Premio de Honor Newbery, e ilustraciones extraordinarias de Nikkolas Smith, al narrar las consecuencias de la esclavitud y la historia de la resistencia Negra en los Estados Unidos, este libro para niños del Proyecto 1619 sirve como una guía para que lectores de todas las edades puedan reflexionar sobre el origen de la identidad americana.
