Beautifully illustrated must-reads for parents and kids.
It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations—something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach out toward people whose lives are quite different from their own. —Katherine Patterson

Award-winning children's book author Duncan Tonatiuh grew up with his feet firmly planted in two different worlds. Born to an American father and a Mexican mother, he was raised in a small city in central Mexico, San Miguel de Allende, but left as an older teen to finish high school and attend college in the U.S. Recognizing the freedom that comes with having two passports, Tonatiuh has used his experiences to create children's books known for their unique and beautiful illlustrations as well as for their serious subject matter - including desegregation in schools or the dangerous journeys of undocumented immigrants.
