A review by elizabethlk
Friends from the Other Side/Amigos del otro lado by Harriet Rohmer, Gloria E. Anzaldúa
4.0
3.5 stars.
This dual language book has some beautiful illustrations and storytelling to take on a very difficult subject that children should be able to learn about and understand in either Spanish or English. It seems still very relevant today although it's two and a half decades old. I wish it did a little more with the story, but I think the messages of standing up to bullies (including by not reporting immigrants to border cops!) are good ones.
Recommended.
