Bilingual English/Spanish. This nuanced picture book tackles the difficult and timely subject of family separation and deportation.
Near the border, the cars began to move very slowly. Papa, go fast. I want to see Mama, I said.
Jose loves helping Mama in the garden outside their home in California. But when Mama is sent back to Mexico for not having proper papers, Jose and his Papa face an uncertain future. What will it be like to visit Mama in Tijuana? When will Mama be able to come home?
Award-winning children's book author Rene Colato Lainez tackles the difficult and timely subject of family separation with exquisite tenderness.

Joe Cepeda's bright and engaging illustrations bring this story of hope to vivid life.
