From North to South / Del norte al sur

From North to South / Del norte al sur by Rene Colato Lainez
Illustrator
From North to South / Del norte al sur is a strong choice for readers looking for Latinx picture books shaped by migration, family. Rene Colato Lainez builds the story around a boy and his father travel from California to the border to visit the mother who has been deported to Mexico. For families, educators, and librarians building lists of DEI picture books, BIPOC picture books, and strong read-alouds, this title brings real value for conversations about migration, family. For more like this, browse Spanish picture books, with the The Pinata That the Farm Maiden Hung read-aloud as a useful companion.
