I'll Be the Moon: A Migrant Child's Story by Phillip D. Cortez

5.0

I’ll Be the Moon: A Migrant Child’s Story is a powerful book and it is the perfect read for #nationalimmigrantsday. Under the watch of the Moon, a little girl and her mother travels the country in the hope of crossing the border and reuniting with her father. As she walks in the desert, she dreams of her future life and remembers good memories of the past.

This picture book is a heart touching and emotional read. It shares a powerful message of hope . I love how it shows immigration from a different perspective, giving a voice to those often without one. The illustrations are soft and warm, taking the readers on a long journey, full of uncertainties.
