I'll Be the Moon / Seré la Luna

A Migrant Child's Story / Una historia de inmigración

A child treks across the Mexican desert with their mother, guided by the moon as they make their way to their father and to freedom. In poetic prose, the child muses on the moon, likening themselves and their journey to the celestial body. Deep blues of a star-speckled sky contrast with the golden arcs of the desert landscape; most pages are split in half by this dichotomy. Bold hope is the theme of this picture book, available in both English and Spanish.
