Mario and the Monarchs
Mario lives with his migrant farmworker family in South Texas. The only problem is they won't let him help at anything. Because he has epilepsy and everyone thinks he's weak.

He'll need all of his strength when the harvest season starts and his father has to leave town, this time for Canada.
