“Mitali Perkinsâ story is a perfect introduction for children to how borders separate families, delicately embracing the reunionâs joy and enduring sadness. Sara Palaciosâ illustrations cheerfully capture the love among separated families as well as the realities of the border wall. This superb picture book is a holiday story that deserves to be a year-round read.” â BookPage, starred review
“A story of family strength and unity overcoming fences along the Mexican/United States border … Another poignant piece to add to the current national discussion about the border. A must for any collection.” â School Library Journal, starred review
“…Maria; her little brother, Juan; and their mother take a bus to the U.S. side to hear the Christmas story, sing carols, worship with other separated families, and have a fleeting face-to-face moment through the fencing with beloved Abuela, who has traveled from her Mexican village to see them for the first time in five years … Cartoon drawings emphasize the resilience of Abuela and her family as they navigate the border landscape, the impenetrable wall, and a situation that feels unfathomable â but is, unfortunately, all too based in reality.” â Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Our kid reviewers were immediately invested in this story of a family from San Diego that takes a bus to meet Abuela (whom they havenât seen in five years) at the fence along the border.” âŹâ©â Parents Magazine
