Praise for Migrant
STARRED REVIEWS
“Content and design coalesce in a handsome presentation that invites readers to decode intriguing images in a pastoral setting suggestive of folklore—and within the process, arouses empathy for the all-too-real risks surrounding migrants… Breathtaking.”
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“A circle of relatives’s desperate journey from Mexico to Los Angeles unfolds through a boy’s first-person narration on this striking bilingual, codex-style book, with accordion-style pages to be read vertically.”
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“A striking, thoughtful, and empathetic take a look at a difficult and very relevant political issue, Migrant will make a very good starting point for imaginable classroom discussions.”
—Booklist
“The story of undocumented migration is told in an easygoing but insistent voice, reflecting a child’s-eye view of leaving home for a bewildering new one… The intricate image unfolds slowly, pulling the reader along from rural fields to the streets of L.A., and makes a breathtaking feast for eyes to rigorously examine in full when opened completely.”
—The Bulletin of The Center for Children’s Books
“A striking and unique piece of art that tells a very powerful story.”
—School Library Journal
