Francisco Jimenez's homepage:
This site has some general biographical information, a list of all his publications, his educational and professional background, study guides specifically helpful for students and educators in reading his books and information on the best way to contact Professor Jiménez at Santa Clara University.

My students found these sites helpful as well: www.scholastic.com, www.youtube.com - This website has numerous videos of Dr. Jimenez and also has videos related to migrant farm workers in America.
