Facing Fear by Karen Lynn Williams

When his soccer team makes the playoffs, Enrique is super excited to travel with the team... and terribly disappointed that his dad won't sign the permission slip. To get there, they'd have to travel through a checkpoint and it's too dangerous for Enrique's family. While Enrique was born in the US and is an American citizen, the rest of his family is not. This is a poignant story that could be a great starting point for conversations about immigration for White families, as well as a mirror to show immigrant children they are not alone.
