 This bilingual book (Spanish and English) follows Alfredo and his father during the 1980s as they leave behind their home in Mexico for Texas. The story is told through Alfredo’s eyes and is based on one of the author’s own experiences in crossing the border, la frontera. It tells why they left Mexico, describes their difficult journey, and shows how courage and determination can lead to a better and more productive life. Colorful pictures prepared in graphite, acrylic, and digital collage complement the vivid narrative. Back matter includes more on Alfredo’s story, information about borders and cultures, a map, notes about immigration, and photographs. mjw |
