Which moment do you mean — can you point to the paragraph or chapter? There are a couple of scenes readers often ask about.

If you mean when the family moves into the old boxcar (the “caja de cartón”), Panchito’s brothers are happy because the boxcar feels like a real home after living so poorly. It gives them a dry, sheltered place to sleep, a little privacy and stability, and something they can call their own — small comforts that mean a lot to migrant children who move constantly and live in temporary shelters.

If you mean another moment, tell me which one and I’ll explain that scene specifically.
